Who Killed Captain Alex?

One reviewer laments the fact that it is obvious that these people never went to film school. They didn't, that's the point.

The director, to his credit, has built his film company from the ground up in the slums of Kampala. The film is a product of those slums. It is a film inspired by the best of Hollywood, but it is thoroughly Ugandan. Take the Video Joker ... this is a component of their distribution requirements because of the many languages and dialects they try to sell to. VJ commentary needs to be customized to their different customer's language needs. The English version is just one of the many they have to apply and market.

I encourage viewers to embrace the humor and bask in the raw talent of this incredible filmmaker.

It is wild and crazy and raw and illogical and funny ... so bad it is really good. This guy makes the exact kinds of movies he wants to make and figures out ways to do it within the realities he has to deal with on a daily basis. Kudos to him.

I have enormous respect for this people. They recorded this movie with barely any budget, unstable electricity, only one camera, reusing actors, putting themselves in danger, almost no props or sets and in a poor country, and the best part is they didn't even intended for this film to be worldwide famous, they just distributed it from house to house. Sure, you can pick apart every second of this movie until you die, but that's not the point. They didn't intend this movie to be The Lord of the Rings or Pulp Fiction or The Godfather. They made it purely for fun, for passion, for love. You can even watch the movie for free if you want, it's on their website, you don't even have to pirate it. This is probably the most charming film I've ever seen. Even the background behind all this is inspiring as hell. Just goes on to show that you don't need a million-dollar budget to make a solid, entertaining film.

This movie has so much heart, and it is amazing to see people in such a dangerous, sad country spend time to make this. Sure, it's not a AAA movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio, but it is amazing for what it is. Look at this as a project for someone who has a passion for movies, but has the misfortune to not to make the best. This movie is hilarious, action- packed, and just great. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants a good laugh. This movie is a good inspiration for anyone who just wants to make a movie.

This is an inspiring film made by Ugandans in the slums. This movie shows that no matter how hard the conditions are, people can make a movie that is funny and fun to watch. Even though the CGI is bad viewers must look past that and look at the true talent behind this film. A must watch movie

The only film I have ever seen with a video MC keeping the excitement levels up. It was the video equivalent of a classic drum and bass track. The acting was not important. The storyline might have been important, but the MC kept shouting over the top. This may have changed it from a drama filled action flick to a more comedic action movie, but maybe that is the point. It was made on a shoestring budget so the props and special effects are pretty poor, but this adds to the charm of it all. The main conundrum of who actually killed captain Alex is pretty incidental to the chaotic, partially unscripted film

Overall it was unlike anything I'd ever seen before. Which I'm taking as a good thing.
