Movie Review: Love Prison 4, Produced By GACEM
Reviewed By Ajibare Abioye
It was a thing of joy when I got to know that “Love Prison 4” would be coming out much sooner than predicted from precedence. I am of the opinion that it is high time the word ‘Episode’ was attached to the movie, because the final part will be out a week after this fourth part, which maybe makes it an episode of some sort. So, what happens in this instalment?

To be sincere, I think I might have lost the plot of “Love Prison” because almost every unit of it now seems to be an appearance of the real thing, or a mirage. Most of the characters seem to be in one dilemma or the other, but what exactly are their situations? Have Kola and Bimpe made up or not? If they have, why the separation? John’s grievance against Kola is at best an assumption: one minute, they’re brothers, the next, they’re prosecutor and defendant; have they made up or not? An evil spirit bows before Kola one instance, the following one, Kola is afflicted; is Kola spiritually strong or not? The police says Kola is dead, the pastor says he’s in a coma; which one is it? Bimpe had earlier talked about having forgiven Kola, another time, she’s contemplating forgiving him; has she forgiven him or not? The juxtaposition of the rather numerous flashbacks with the events of “Love Prison 4” were confusing; are we in the present or the past? Even the theme songs are at loggerheads in terms of what they’re doing per time in the movie.
I am really looking forward to the final part because I hope it will make all things right, put everything in their proper place as the screenwriter may have constructed it. Nonetheless, I must commend at least, one of the classical pieces rendered in “Love Prison 4”. Fingers crossed to what “Love Prison 5” will deliver.
