Review:
"The Black Book" is a captivating film that revolves around the character of Deacon Paul Edima, who becomes obsessed with seeking justice after his son, Olumide Oworu, dies due to a false accusation and the brutality of corrupt police officers.
The film deftly handles various topics, such as corruption in the Nigerian police and militia, and calls for full investigations and the hunt for justice against corrupt officials. The film also delves into ideas of female strength by contrasting male and female warriors, questioning conventional gender norms and emphasizing the power struggle between patriarchy and matriarchy in patriarchal Africa.
The film uses English, Yoruba, and Nigerian Pidgin English to create a multi-layered story, showcasing geographical variety and socioeconomic intricacies. It is a riveting tale that challenges audiences to stand up against corruption and injustice.
Rating: 8.5/10

Looks interesting, unlike our typical nigerian movies like water and garri.

Looks interesting. I'll keep tabs on it.
