    Unexpectable

    I want my life to be narrated by a ugandan video joker.

    This movie is honestly really inspiring. It really shows just how fun it can be to make a movie.

    Ugandan Bruce Lee, we call him Bruce U.

    I have created an IMDb account just to review this movie. I don't even know where to start explaining the way in which this movie has touched and impressed me.

    When watching it, you have to leave all your standards and expectations regarding cinematography behind because only then you can see it for the true masterpiece that it is. The whole context in which it was made adds to the beauty of it. The fighting scenes, especially the ones involving kung fu are, in my opinion, quite good even compared to Hollywood blockbusters. The acting doesn't even matter. The VJ, although I thought it would be rather annoying, turned out to be in fact really funny and exactly what this movie needed.

    I applaud the whole cast and crew who produced with professionalism and dedication such a humble, hilarious and *action packed movie* on the lowest budget I have ever heard of.

    Unique

    The only film I have ever seen with a video MC keeping the excitement levels up. It was the video equivalent of a classic drum and bass track. The acting was not important. The storyline might have been important, but the MC kept shouting over the top. This may have changed it from a drama filled action flick to a more comedic action movie, but maybe that is the point. It was made on a shoestring budget so the props and special effects are pretty poor, but this adds to the charm of it all. The main conundrum of who actually killed captain Alex is pretty incidental to the chaotic, partially unscripted film

    Overall it was unlike anything I'd ever seen before. Which I'm taking as a good thing.

    Captain Alex

    This movie has so much heart, and it is amazing to see people in such a dangerous, sad country spend time to make this. Sure, it's not a AAA movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio, but it is amazing for what it is. Look at this as a project for someone who has a passion for movies, but has the misfortune to not to make the best. This movie is hilarious, action- packed, and just great. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants a good laugh. This movie is a good inspiration for anyone who just wants to make a movie.

    Better than what AAA Hollywood makes Nowadays

    This film is funny, exciting, enjoyable, and entertaining. The guy who made this film did this with passion and heart, Uganda is in poverty, but one man steps up to establish entertainment for his country, which will spread to other countries. By selling his things to buy a camera and building a computer, he assembled a team and was going to make the most action packed movie. Then came Who Killed Captain Alex. That story is inspiring and the film is as well. People make movies to entertain people, not to sell merchandise and coat it in CGI. If you want to watch this film, it is free on YouTube and uploaded by the studio themselves. Go check it out! You'll enjoy every second.
