When I stumbled upon this 2019 Nigerian drama from writer Alexandra Kureave Hul and director Moses Inwang, I had no idea what I was in for. I had never heard about the movie, but still opted to sit down and watch it, since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, much less actually heard about. Writer Alexandra Kureave Hul didn't exactly deliver a script and storyline that found much of any appeal with me. The narrative was simply too slow paced, too mundane and devoid of anything interesting. And truth be told, the movie never was off to a flying start, because it started off in a nose-dive, and the movie never leveled up or ascended. And that made it a very boring movie to sit through. And it didn't help much that the character gallery was about as interesting as uncooked broccoli. Suffice it to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, given my extremely limited exposure to the Nigerian cinema. The acting performances were actually fair enough, just a shame that the actors and actresses virtually had nothing to work with. Actually, I ended up tossing the towel in the ring just a mere 25 minutes into the ordeal. But by then I just couldn't take any more of the punishment that is "For Old Times' Sake". And believe you me when I say that I am never returning to attempt finish watching this particular movie. I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as what director Moses Inwang delivered. I just happened to not be a part of that particular target audience. My rating of "For Old Times' Sake" lands on a two out of ten stars.
