A young warrior’s ambition collides with the tyrannical warlord Ogundiji, whose military school manufactures killers and whose ego manufactures enemies.
Lateef Adedimeji and Femi Adebayo circle each other magnificently, the battle choreography set a new bar for the industry, and its worldwide Netflix chart run proved indigenous stories travel furthest when told without apology.
Verdict: Essential. The film that made the world take Yoruba epics seriously.
