Presentation is that some scenes look anamorphically squeezed and perhaps sourced from some less decent looking element (see screenshots 7, 13Īnd 14 for three examples). This has the same 'video' like appearance as did the other film, albeit one with arguably better overall detail levels. There is on Who Killed Captain Alex, but that said, There's no prefatory text on this film as Subtext here outlining some of the sociopolitical hurdles facing Ugandans, though to think that this film is any real way a 'penetrating critique' ofīad Black is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of AGFA with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.37:1. Like that film, there's a perhaps none too subtle

This has a certain 'blacksploitation' quality to it that's actually quite inviting, and theįilm has the same almost manic energy that helped to define Who Killed Captain Alex. Who are out to clean the Ugandan streets of nefarious activity. As such, a plot summary mayīe unnecessary, other than to say this is another completely over the top 'action' film that involves a couple of supposed health care professionals Neither of these films is a model of narrative clarity or technical expertise, but there's a certain Ed Wood-ian joie de vivre (and/or joie deĪs the case may be, given the violence on hand) to both of these offerings which may well appeal to those who have a fondness for lo-fiĮntertainment that obviously is not taking itself very seriously.īad Black doesn't make one ounce of sense, as even the 'commentary' by VJ Emmie repeatedly references. That may be a pipe dream of rather considerable proportions, but the two films included on this set are certainly greatĮxamples of just how much can be done today on micro-budgets (there are several reports that Who Killed Captain Alex? was done forĪ couple hundred dollars).

Nabwana doesn't even stop there,Īlso stating that his ultimate ambition is to have Wakaliwood completely subsume 'La La Land' as the global center of film Nabwana is one of aīreed of Ugandan filmmakers, and as is made abundantly clear in a number of supplements included on this 'double feature' disc, Nabwana is notĮxactly shy about proclaiming his ambitions to make the Ugandan film industry the 'next Bollywood'. That comes courtesy of one Isaac Godfrey Geoffrey Nabwana, a native Ugandan who also brands himself as Nabwana IGG. 'Wakaliwood' may well be an unknown word to many coming to this review, and there's probably a good reason for that: it's an 'invented' Note: This film is available as part of Wakaliwood Supa Action Volume 1: Who Killed Captain Alex? + Bad Black.
