In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This film had basically no budget, was made in the slums of uganda by people who genuinely feared for their lives will making it, and was directed by a man who never in his wildest dreams expected that it would be seen by anyone outside of his village. Despite this, it's probably one of the best films I've ever seen. On a technical front it has clear issues that anyone can see, but it has so much heart and passion behind it that the flaws become insignificant. The fact is that the people of Wakaliwood made this movie purely to entertain, and throw in so much hilarity and "supa action" that it is an absolute joy to witness. They tried so hard to make something fun and enjoyable, and I urge anyone who aspires to make films themselves to use this movie as motivation. If they can do it solely through effort and passion with no money, no studio, and barely any technical support, then why can't you give it a go? Would reccommend this film to everyone and anyone. Watch it!

Considering the $200 budget and the fact that this was literally made in a warzone, I think it deserves a lot of credit for what it is. It is a hilariously bad movie like 'The Room' but it has so much genuine heart and effort placed into it from everyone who worked on it. I adore this film due to it's origin, humor and heart, and it's a perfect example that anyone can make a movie.

Me and my classmates have found out that this movie was here, and since we watched it, it was very funny that we laughed hard after watching it. When I looked at the reviews, I knew that each and every one enjoyed it He's just creating a fake account. Bad screenplay? No. Worst movie ever? No. It's an adrenaline rush plus it's a worldwide acclaim! About the director, he has given his time, passion, resources, and the like to make wonderful movies with such effort such as Bad Black, Attack on Nyege Nyege, Operation Kakongoliro (Ugandan Expendables) and every masterpiece that he makes like B14, the African Terminator knockoff, and the rest.Such a masterpiece and a great dream Nabwana has achieved! 1 million/10. Would watch again! Must see! What I would like to say is that the funniest of all was VJ Emmie. Do not be swayed by negative criticism. To the fake one star idiot account, please learn to accept things that aren't the way that you would always expect. (I'm doing this so that I can trigger that hater) It's not that hard to believe this movie was made. It's good and affordable for a great family or a group of friends to watch
