Clinton Joshua stuns in "Life Within" as a scheming mechanic with a deadly plan. But did the plot and production live up to expectations? Read our full review.
If you're a Clinton Joshua fan, buckle up—his new film Life Within takes a dark turn that's bound to leave you speechless.
In this psychological thriller, Clinton sheds his usual charming-boy-next-door image to play Harry, a self-employed mechanic with a hidden agenda. He’s not just fixing engines—he’s fixing to commit murder. That’s right. Harry runs a busy workshop by day, but by night, he’s a manipulative lover boy, two-timing his girlfriend Grace (played by the gorgeous Ogechukwu Anasor) with her own best friend Olivia (played by the beautiful Roseline Anietie).
And the motive? A chilling plot to marry Olivia, murder her parents, and walk away with her family inheritance.
While the premise hooks you from the start, the movie unfortunately begins to unravel midway. Key details—like Olivia’s true relationship with Grace—are withheld until nearly halfway through the film, disrupting the emotional tension that could’ve made this love triangle truly explosive.
More frustrating is the omission of a pivotal scene—Olivia persuading Harry to choose her over Grace. Without this, Grace’s role feels underdeveloped and robs her character of the emotional impact she deserved.
Fans were quick to point out some technical missteps as well:
1.) An audio mishap early on pulls you out of the story.
2.) Crucial moments lacked the visual effects that could have made the suspense hit harder.
3.) And let’s not ignore the awkward use of music that didn’t quite match the emotional weight of the scenes.
Despite the flaws, Life Within attempts something bold—casting Clinton Joshua against type, and exploring the darker edges of love, greed, and betrayal. His performance alone is worth watching, and it leaves us wondering: will Clinton take on more villainous roles in the future?
What did you think of Harry's shocking transformation?
