Released on September 22, 2023, “The Black Book” has been making waves in the Nigerian film industry with its thought-provoking storyline and outstanding performances. Directed by Editi Effiong, the movie boasts an impressive cast, including Richard Mofe Damijo, Olumide Owuru, Ade Laoye, Sam Dede, Shaffy Bello, and Ireti Doyle, who bring to life a tale of corruption, injustice, and the quest for truth.
The movie follows Paul Edema, a bereaved deacon played by Richard Mode Damijo, who finds himself at the center of a web of corruption when his son Damilola Edema [Olumide Owuro] is falsely accused of kidnapping. As Paul navigates the treacherous landscape of corrupt police officials, he takes matters into his own hands, seeking justice and redemption.
With its gripping narrative, “The Black Book” keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, wondering what will happen next. The movie raises important questions about the flaws in the justice system and the lengths to which one will go to clear their loved one’s name.
This movie also sheds light on the prevalent corruption and moral decadence in Nigeria today especially in the corridors of power.
The performances in the movie are top-notch, with Richard Mofe Damijo delivering a standout performance as the determined and desperate Paul Edema and Ade Laoye also shines in her role as the annoying journalist.
“The Black Book” is noteworthy, with a blend of realism and stylized visuals that perfectly capture the mood and tone of the film. The use of lighting is also impressive, with a muted colour palette that reflects the dark and corrupt world Paul finds himself in.
The set design in “The Black Book” is authentic and immersive, transporting viewers to the bustling streets and cramped bus stops of Lagos, Nigeria. From the rundown police station to the cramped homes and dimly lit bars, each set is meticulously crafted to create a sense of realism and grit. The production design team has done an excellent job of creating a believable environment that draws the viewer in.
The soundtrack is a mix of traditional Nigerian music and contemporary beats, creating a unique and captivating sound that sets the tone for the film. The sound effects helped in conveying emotions and suspense to the viewers.
The costume design in “The Black Book” is understated yet effective, with each character’s wardrobe reflecting their personality and social status. Paul’s simple yet dignified attire contrasts with the flashy clothing of the corrupt police officers, highlighting the stark differences between good and evil.
The flaws?
The story progression was a bit fluffy. The intro was quite engaging but there were a few lapses from the character of Paul Edema, the journalist who isn’t supposed to be unnecessarily annoying and the fumigator that wiped the four policemen- That scene looked fake. We signed up for action, so the action we expected to get!
Overall, “The Black Book” is a good watch for fans of Nigerian cinema and crime and action thrillers. In as much as it has its impressive side, it’s a weak attempt at a John Wick story. It squanders a good premise and gives us a weak and ineffective thriller.
Rating: 7/ 10
Genre: Crime and Action thriller.

Trailer Review for “Safari”
When the trailer for Safari dropped, it immediately set social media buzzing. Directed by Obi Emelonye and fronted by Osas Ighodaro, the film promises an emotional and unpredictable journey; part thriller, part moral drama, set against Kenya’s vivid landscapes. The movie is scheduled for release on November 9, 2025, and anticipation is already building across Africa’s film circles.

Ighodaro plays the wife of a Nigerian politician who seems to have it all: luxury, power, and influence, yet she feels trapped in her own life. A trip to Kenya offers the illusion of freedom, but that calm doesn’t last. When a British tourist is found dead and a local man she has befriended becomes the prime suspect, her escape turns into a dangerous web of secrets and suspicion.
From its opening moments, the trailer pulls viewers in. Kenya looks stunning but never sanitized. The camera lingers on sunlit beaches, bustling markets, and tense silences between characters. Every scene feels loaded, not with melodrama but with the quiet dread of choices that cannot be undone.

The cast is a key part of the film’s appeal. Alongside Osas Ighodaro, audiences can expect strong performances from an ensemble of both established Nollywood talent and emerging Kenyan actors. Notably, Emmanuel Mugo portrays Joe Chiama, a local man who becomes entangled in the unfolding drama. Ali Nuhu takes on the role of Senator Farouk, Nkiru’s powerful yet distant husband. Jide Kene Achufusi plays the Lawyer, navigating the legal complexities that arise, while Ken Ambani portrays the Inspector, investigating the mysterious death. Their chemistry brings authenticity to the cross-cultural storyline, adding depth and tension to a narrative where every glance and gesture carries weight.
What is refreshing about Safari is how grounded it feels. Kenya is not presented as a backdrop for drama; it is part of the story, unpredictable, beautiful, and charged with danger. The cinematography captures the tension between freedom and fear, giving the film a visual pulse that feels both intimate and expansive.

Of course, trailers can mislead. Safari could lose its footing if it leans too heavily on romance or moral panic. But if Emelonye keeps the balance between tension and emotion, this could be one of Nollywood’s most talked-about releases of the year.
More than anything, Safari feels like a film about running: from love, from guilt, from the versions of ourselves we no longer recognise. And sometimes, as this trailer suggests, the hardest person to escape is yourself.
