Happy New Year Guys!

In a bid to be a bit more consistent with my writing this New Year, hopefully, I'll be doing a lot more reviews of Nigerian movies on this site, and I will also be adding TV Series where I can.

Most of my reviews may be of productions that have made it to Streaming services, as opposed to those with Cinema debut, mostly because fewer people will have access to Cinema productions, and I do enjoy feedback from people who have watched a production (A Tribe Called Judah might be the exception, let me know if y'all think I should review it before it makes it to streaming)

Anyway, let me not bore with plenty chat. Without further ado, I'm opening with the EbonyLife and Netflix Production, War: Wrath and Revenge, a continuation of the highly successful Sons of The Caliphate.

Now, if you haven't watched Sons of The Caliphate, you may choose to revert to it before watching this, however, you may also watch this as a Standalone, and you'd still get the gist of it.

This was released on the 28th of December on Netflix and is a 6-part Mini series, each Episode is 30-minutes long except the Finale, which is about 42-minutes long.

So, let's get into this production.


Title: War: Wrath and Revenge
Production: TV Series
Cast:
Rahama Sadau
Mofe Duncan
Yakubu Mohammed
Ifeanyi Kalu
Theresa Edem-Isemin
Bikiya Graham-Douglas
Patrick Doyle
Ayoola Ayolola
Uzee Usman
Executive Producer: Mo Abudu
Screenplay: Karachi Atiya, Adze Ugah
Creator/Director: Dimbo Atiya.
Run Time: 192 minutes (6 Episodes)

Plot:
The quest for power continues in the state of Kowa, as Nuhu Bula goes up against incumbent Governor Sanusi, in an upcoming election. Various interests at play lead to the uncovering of conspiracies and resurrection of old foes.


Review:

Now, I must say, the trailer of this series alone was quite mouthwatering and promising in its own right. I've found something of a new interest in seeking out Nollywood stories told outside the Lagos hegemony, so, this production kept to that requirement for me. The exploration of the Northern political scene (and perhaps Nigeria at large) using a fictional state is quite refreshing. We see the depiction of a Northern elite jostling for power with strategic alignments and decisions.

As regards the story itself, it is well told. Each of the characters is fleshed out in such a way that you can see them being actual power players in the political scene; we have the guy with good intentions, albeit poor guidance, his very ambitious wife who doesn't quite share his naivety, a power hungry incumbent willing to do whatever to remain in office, the upstanding police officer whose attempts to do right is often sabotaged by higher ups, the old friend with a vendetta after surviving a betrayal, and then the seemingly pious friend with no desire for political explorations, who is, in fact, the puppet master pulling the strings unseen.

Each character is believable, but even moreso, beyond the believable nature of the characters, the actors who play these roles fully embody their characters. Rahama Sadau, Mofe Duncan, Yakubu Mohammed and Patrick Doyle reprise their roles from Sons of The Caliphate as Binta Kutigi-Bula, Nuhu Bula, Dikko Loko and General Umar Loko. Rahama Sadau puts in a glorious shift in that role, she manifests the ambitious wife of Nuhu Bula, willing to cross lines her innocent husband is never fully aware of. Binta is ruthless in her quest for power and every word, every inflection and every gesture from Rahama in that role, fully signifies this. It is perhaps, one of her best performances, if not her best. She becomes the villain you find yourself rooting for, or even more, wanting to be. She oozes the sort of power you imagine a woman should possess to be a power house. Of the main characters, we see the introduction of a new, but formidable character in Buba Koda, played by Ifeanyi Kalu. Buba is your quintessential Northern elite, a member of the royal family poised to be Emir after the unexpected death of Khalifa. He's also a loverboy of sorts, courting his girlfriend, Alicia Kama, who he's eager to make his Mrs. You get the feeling Buba is the new Khalifa, however, the lengths of his quest for power are not immediately obvious.

Which brings me to another positive part of this series; the writing. Honestly, writing is something I am very particular about in productions. Not just with the story structure and plotline, but particularly with the dialogue. A story is as good as its dialogue and the dialogue in War: Wrath and Revenge is very very good. This is most obvious in the scene Binta confronts Nuhu with his infidelity, and then goes on to reveal to him that she was responsible for the plane crash that led to the death of Khalifa. The acting is top-notch, but the writing is absolutely thrilling itself. The infusion of Hausa in conversations is also commendable. To be honest, there may have been scenes that called for more Hausa than English, but I can't say if that failure is more on the writers or the actors inability to perhaps speak as fluently...but that's a different kettle of tea, I'd rather not digress.

Now, another thing I like is the wardrobe. See, the outfits each of the actors wore was giving Northern high fashion. Binta Bula's wardrobe is the stuff of dreams, each outfit is very much modest, but still very stylish, Alicia Kama also has an admirable collection of corporate wears, I'm not as versed as I'd like to be as regards Arewa male fashion, however, I have seen a good number of more attuned persons who have praise for the style on Nuhu Bula and Buba Koda, there is particular admiration for Buba's caps. Personally, the tailoring of the outfits caught my eye the most. I look out for fabric quality and tailoring a lot, and the tailoring of Nuhu Bula and Buba Koda's clothes are impeccable.

The setting is also very good, like I said, it's set in a fictional state, but the actual shoot is done in Abuja I believe. We see the affluence associated with the Northern elite where necessary, and simplicity where necessary.

The cinematography is nice. Once again, great angles. I particularly liked how the approach of certain characters are captured from behind them, so, we see everything ahead of them. It was my favourite part of the cinematography. Effects were good, the shooting scenes did not look ridiculous. Even when a character was shot pointblank in the head, it was well done.

Now that we're done with the positives, a few issues observed, starting with the writing. As earlier stated, Nuhu should have used more Hausa in certain scenes, Pandita Agu as Alima, Nuhu's mistress, spoke more Hausa than Mofe as Nuhu in the entire production. There's a scene Nuhu Bula is addressing the people of a small village, and he uses English, which wouldn't apply in reality. Like I said, this may not be so much a failure from the writer's end, than an accommodation of the actor's limitations with the language. Furthermore, while well done, certain scenes just look like overkill eg. Why is Boston Bobby Brown, who is simply contracted to investigate an air crash, suddenly doubling as a detective, and martial arts blackbelt holder with a thirst for justice? Really, what is his business in all of this, aside his seeming infatuation with the beautiful Alicia Kama? He went to lengths he really shouldn't have bothered with if we're being real. Just close your investigation and go. Secondly, once again, sticking to reality, there is no way on election day, that any media house will give you airtime to reveal some grand conspiracy about the Governorship aspirant and some other high profile personalities. It's another case of from where to where? And in today's Nigeria, such revelations won't have the impact that we see it have in the final scene. The outline of events in the final episode are quite iffy to be honest, not enough to significantly impact how good the story is in general, because the plot twist is still too good, but if you're particular about story seamlessness, it may grind your gears a bit, but if you're out for a good watch, you'll be fine.

In all things, bear in mind that creatives do not necessarily have to stick to what obtains in reality. They can spice up their fictional society despite inspiration from reality.

Now, to my favourite scene in this series. Aside Binta's confrontation of her cheating husband, my favourite scene has to be where Buba rescues Alicia from an irate mob, and reads his cousin the Riot Act. Ladies and Gentlemen, that's what an Alpha Male looks like, that's the sort of masculine energy that is appreciated.

My favourite performances are Rahama Sadau as Binta Bula, Ifeanyi Kalu as Buba Koda, Patrick Doyle as Umar Loko, and Daniel Okosun as Sambisa, Governor Sanusi's henchman. I really enjoyed Okosun's portrayal of the character, it was quite authentic.

Overall, this series is a really good watch, and I look forward to the second season.


Rating: 7.8/10

So, have you seen this series? If yes, what are your thoughts?

It is linked to a previous release titled Sons of the Caliphate. I am not sure why they did not market it as a sequel

I hardly watch a movie more than the first 30minutes. But if you can keep me glued a minute after that, trust me, it must be great a movie.

I watched all the episodes and i can tell it was a great movie.

I would rate it 9/10.

Great movie/series and your review was so on point. Well Done

Its a good watch

You want to eat off from another person's hard work. Something you pirated you still want to make money off it. How unfortunate can you be

Oboto700:
I can send tribe of Judae to anyone.. with just 1k.. if you interested let me know

Looks like a continuation of Sons of the Caliphate.
Very interesting.

Currently seeing the 6th episode. I think the movie is not bad. The suspense is intense, the story line partially unmask the corruptible acts going on in Nigeria polity. Big men greediness, how politicians manipulate and squeeze their ways into the office and all other absurdities perpetuated by the elites...

a very interesting movie everyone must watch, but dunno if the season 2 is out

Do you think there would be a second season Binta to me as dead as Patrick Doyle gave her that poisoned kola. The main governor Sanusi is dead unless buba wants to take revenge on that his supposed wife to be that’s how I see it

Fabbyking:
Where can it be downloaded

Netflix

It's an interesting movie to watch, the storyline is cool.

Short and interesting. … I wonder why they don’t promote such movie like some nollywood actors do promote even their overrated work.

forgiveness:
Me never see am. Series!!! Time taker

okerekingsley90:

Binta won't eat the poisoned kola. Someone will walk in and stop her, or she will just not eat it. But she won't die.

Yes, Governor Sanusi is gone, but like you said, Buba will still want to take revenge on Alicia and possibly, Boston Bobby Brown. He will also try to take back the seat of the Emir.

There will be a Season 2, there is still a lot to work with and enough key cast to make it work. Dikko Loko is still alive, so, he too will become someone's foe.

I only watch detective movies/ series documentary, historical movies/series and true crime. Anything else is a big fat NO
