Jagun Jagun (2023)
9/10
Very engaging Yoruba Epic
13 August 2023
Was pleasantly surprised by this movie.

The start-studded cast of veteran Nolly wood actors all gave amazing performances. No one dropped the ball or phoned it in.

There were no unnecessary, unfunny "comedic" scenes by flavour-of-the-month social media skit makers that cant act their way out of a wet paper bag, as is the irritating trend nowadays and I'm here for it.

The plot was interesting with a few genuinely surprising twists

The costumes, sets, props, music and VFX were all cohesive and on point, showcasing the Yoruba culture, especially the dialog (although a bit of the nuance and implied meanings of certain parts will be lost on non-native speakers)

The fight sequences were also very well done with believable feel and heft to it

All in all, an excellent movie.
