“Tempting Fate” is about not tempting fate, for, as the movie shows, it doesn’t have a happy ending unless one finds divine forgiveness. Two brothers from Africa, Ugo (Ramsey Nouah) and his younger brother Edu (Andrew Onochie), are as different as day and night. Ugo claims he doesn’t believe in God, and he is involved in drugs and the criminal world of the Scorpions. Edu, on the other hand, sings in church and has a loving and kind spirit. He becomes engaged to a Christian woman named Tracey (Tiffany Denise Turner). Despite telling the Scorpion leader that he is through with the gang, Ugo gives in and agrees to one more deed, which will nab him a lot of money needed for his brother Edu’s cancer operation. But the one-last-time robbery tempts fate and, when Ugo ducks into his house with some red-hot stolen money, the police don’t catch him — they arrest Edu instead.

Edu can take the fall and be out of prison in three years or let his brother, the true culprit, take the fall and face 25 years. Edu sacrifices himself for his brother, but when Ugo’s drunken moment leads to his betrayal of Edu, Edu’s life turns upside down. Will forgiveness even be an option when Edu gets out of jail in three years? The movie features a captivating story line, but the film contains drug sales and a couple of people tasting the cocaine to see if it is “good stuff” or not, and some bloody violence. Therefore, we are awarding the movie our Faith Based Seal. Make sure and put this one on your viewing list!
