'The Hand of Fate' is obviously low quality and low budget, but to be honest I minorly enjoyed it, relatively speaking. The message of the film is positive and the story is told in a narrowly interesting enough way. Based on the opening scenes I was expecting this to be bad, though by the credits I was content with what I had just watched.

The actors aren't the best, but again kind of make it work. Cornelius Gomez, despite playing an unlikeable character, gives a serviceable performance, he has a voice that is made for acting. Mariama Colley in the hallucination scene is exceptionally convincing. The film does fall off a bit at the end with a rogue chat show segment, c'est la vie.

I'm probably being too generous with my rating, especially given the state of the audio quality (or lack thereof), but it is what it is. I genuinely had a fine time with it and I wouldn't even be against watching it again, so that's a pass in my books.
