I watched this movie with my friend over discord and I must say, I don't remember laughing so hard during a one hour long movie.
The narrator VJ Emmie made this movie so much better. Him shouting "commandos" "tiger mafia" "supa soldiers" and those random laughs, sound effects made me actually laugh out loud. The plot made sense.. kinda. Great music choices with Abba - Mamma Mia and Seal - Kiss from a rose. Very cool.
Action is coming, I promise you.

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 want my life to be narrated by a ugandan video joker.
This movie is honestly really inspiring. It really shows just how fun it can be to make a movie.

This film is funny, exciting, enjoyable, and entertaining. The guy who made this film did this with passion and heart, Uganda is in poverty, but one man steps up to establish entertainment for his country, which will spread to other countries. By selling his things to buy a camera and building a computer, he assembled a team and was going to make the most action packed movie. Then came Who Killed Captain Alex. That story is inspiring and the film is as well. People make movies to entertain people, not to sell merchandise and coat it in CGI. If you want to watch this film, it is free on YouTube and uploaded by the studio themselves. Go check it out! You'll enjoy every second.
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.
