The title of this movie is so unappealing and to make matters worse, it is mis-spelt but still distributed in this part of the world! I overlooked it several times until one of my adventurous friends somehow risked watching it. Then for two weeks , like medicine, I was treated to a daily dose of how good the movie was...I got OD'd! I couldn't bring myself to watch a movie with such a title but when directed by Tchidi Chikere caught my eyes...I found the time! It is a movie about love, the determination of a man to pursue to the end the one he truly loves. The situations and setbacks are not over the top and this makes the movie so believable that at the end one can't help wondering if the script is actually somebody's autobiography. The movie develops very well and not being able to predict the next scene keeps you glued to the screen.You will not be disappointed!

Stronger Than Pain 2
(2007 Video)
A very good movie
22 September 2008
Like so many viewers in NY who are not familiar with any African custom or tradition period, I found this film to be very interesting, entertaining, well thought out and executed by a superb cast. The wardrobe, hairstyles, accessories and the hmmmm....I'm thinking tattoo's or should I say the tribal marks..so artistic...were all so pleasing to the eyes!The location was very scenic.The pace was very good unlike so many slow, boring movies. The conflict between the couple and the elders highlighted the gradual eroding of traditional practices and the harder task for the 'village to raise the child'. It was very refreshing not to hear the American or British accents that somehow has become a must in most films. That's one of the biggest turn offs of viewers in this part of the world...the wannabe's.The only reason I have not rated it a ten is because there is always room for improvement...somewhere...somehow! Excellent movie and I kid you not.
