It is not a typical love triangle.
This one is life-threatening and will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Even its title lets you know of the wreckage ahead and, now that it’s officially streaming on Netflix, you also get to see some faces you haven’t seen in a while.
The release of the movie Homewrecker had to moved up earlier due to the overwhelming demand from fans who were eager to feast their eyes on the mystery drama.
While the storyline takes one through the depths of envy and betrayal, its twists and turns are led by Letoya Makhene-Pulumo who plays Kenzi Miyeni, a damaged woman consumed by an unrelenting desire to steal the life of her successful colleague, Tamara Oliphant, portrayed by the remarkable Mbali Mlotshwa.

As praises poured in, critics have also had a field day, expressing disappointment.
not sure how I feel about #HomewreckerNetflix , I expected more sauce, drama, deceit and a million hayibo's a second and maybe a wig snatched here and there. Still worth watching though but it was a bit meh with such a stellar cast.

#Homewreckernetflix My Goodness ?? What a lousy movie, quite the letdown. But I always watch till the end. Really felt like those Mzansi 161 Saturday movies. Imbi Imbi Imbi sana. Predictable AF too. Great cast though. A solid 2.5/10 from ME. pic.twitter.com/I7wReRUe1u

But as usual, Letoya Makhene-Pulumo showed up as the wolf in sheep's skin. Twitter streets had no choice but to stan.
This is a beautifully captured camera shot. I don't know who the cinematographer (props to that person ??) is but this shot captures the essence of evil and Kenzie being the vessel of evil. The wardrobe magnifies the essence and vessel of evil ?? #HomewreckerNetflix pic.twitter.com/uhu9BJYwt3
