For the people they had on the cast here (as well as for the main plot) this movie is a colossal disappointment. I am only 25 minutes into this movie and I had to pause to write this.
There is absolutely no flow to this. No scene transition. Almost half of the scenes so far don't even make sense when added to the rest.
The actors/ actresses feel like they're reading their lines for a radio broadcast. No inflection or emotion whatsoever.
To cap it off, this is a movie that is about a ritualistic serial killer but the whole thing feels like its trying to pass the PG rating criteria.
The entire scene in the morgue where the guy is describing the injuries to the body but they NEVER SHOW a SINGLE injury or even a glimpse of the body whatsoever. They could have been looking at a chicken sandwich for all we know.
Shame on you for agreeing to this, Morgan Freeman. Shame!
Plot summary
A detective on the verge of retirement teams with a professor of African Studies to track down a serial killer who is performing the ancient black magic practice of Muti.

Absolutely Awful
Great yarn, excellent script with some licences in pro of story.
I'm appalled by the low ratings. This is a very well assembled film with intense tension from start to finish. There are probably lots of literary licenses all along thhe film and you must accept them at face value because tthey are quite opposed to occidental beliefs. To enjoy it you must let fantasy and primitive juju in throughout the plot.
Acting is so so by most of the cast but Morgan Freeman delivers, very solidly. There are many gory scenes that can prove gory to many in the audience. Direction is good, the film pace never lets down and flashbacks give explanation and don't deter the storytelling. The end is satisfactory and the stury scene meaningful and fulfilling, leaving you with a sense of prevailing good over egoism and lack of sruples for personal benefit.
Be open minded and you won't be disappointed.
Such a Disappointment
I watched this movie because Freeman was in it & stuck through to the end hoping that it would be good - but it was a complete waste of time. Script, dialogue, acting and pretty much everything was just so bad! Nothing made sense & there was no flow to the movie with the jump from one scene to the other being totally confusing. Sorry I've never heard or seen the main actor & after watching the movie all the way through I know why - he was just terrible! The ending was so ridiculous that we all burst out laughing. I suggest that you give this movie a miss and spend your time watching something else.
Morgan Freeman imitating Bruce Willis?
Well to me it seems OP was making a joke and it flew right over your head.
