Ghanaians will today have the opportunity to attend the debut showing of the much awaited movie – DOUBLE CROSS – in Ghana—the movie was premiered in UK some few months back.
The movie, which has already received two exceptional awards, will be premiered tonight (February 6, 2015) at the Silverbird Cinemas (Accra Mall & West Hills Mall; 6:30pm for the 1st showing and 9:30 pm for the 2nd showing).
Majority of the audience who were present at the premiere of ‘Double Cross’ in UK described the movie as one of its kind when it comes to the plot, acting skills exhibited by the various cast, as well as the twist and turns employed. Judging from the previous premiere, this is a movie that nobody can afford to miss.
In view of this, GhanaCelebrities.Com caught up with the co-producer, Ama K. Abebrese, and sought from her what the kind of preparation went into filming this amazing movie.
According to her, they were determined not to produce the same old predictable movies Ghanaians have been seeing all the time. With that at the back of their heads, they had to think outside the box and come out with something unique that would be appreciated by Ghanaians and Africans as a whole. As she puts it, “it wasn’t easy coming up with such a plot.”
In Double Cross “Effie Howard (Ama K. Abebrese) a streetwise programmer’s life is dramatically turned upside down when her fiancé Ben Boateng (Adjetey Anang) is convicted and sentenced for a bank robbery he did not commit. Determined to prove his innocence; she carried out her own investigation and finds the actual robber; Danny Frimpong (John Dumelo) a calm and collected sophisticated genius of a thief who has a personal vendetta against the bank he robbed Neptune Bank International. He robbed the bank using urbane technology which enabled him to enter, steal and exit the bank leaving everyone mystified as to how the theft was carried out, no witnesses, no evidence, yet the money is gone.
She meets Danny and threatens him but later offers him a deal; and it’s to rob the bank again with similar methods as the first so the authorities know the actual robber is still out there, then Danny will not lose what matters to him most and the reason for the bank robbery. She plans to relocate with the stolen money and start a new life with Ben when he is acquitted so as to get away from the stigma attached to ex-convicts and their families. They are successful in the robbing the bank, Effie now sets her sights on a jewellery warehouse and she wants Danny to rob it.
With a lot of jewellery and money at stake, each one of them tries to outwit each other with medleys of smart thinking as they plan and execute the robberies. They meticulously plan the robberies, but no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare them for the dangerous enemy, an enemy Effie least expected and never saw coming; an unexpected turn of events on the day of the robbery, what happened”
