The film is literally made with a minimal budget and it shows.
The plot is a pretty standard "Whodunnit" and crime fighting action-thriller as the Ugandan authorities try to figure out who killed Captain Alex whilst simultaneiously trying to take down a powerful crime syndicate.
Nevertheless, the actors (who are, for the most parts, amateurs and friends of the producer) take to their tasks with vigour and passion, providing a much needed compensation for the severely underfunded production values.
Special effects and stunts are handled with creative use of locally available technology, computer or otherwise.
The villains (The Tiger Mafia) are ruthless and violent as befits a good action movie and the heroes have to use whatever assets they have at hand, including a local expert martial artist to overcome their enemies.
To foreign audiences, such as myself, the use of a running, humorous commentary seems odd but is apparently a local standard procedure.
For all it's monetary and technical weaknesses, the film is nevertheless good fun and shows real creativity in both acting and production.
