October 1 is a master stroke for Nollywood.

We have all heard about the much talked about movie from the award
winning filmmaker, Kunle Afaloyan. Pulse.ng presents you with a review
of the masterpiece
'October 1".
Review
The
TV stations Crime and Investigation (CI) and Investigation Discovery
(ID) usually trace the upbringings of criminals in order to understand
if their environments influence the crimes the felons commit. On
several occasions, it actually turns out that maladjustments are
responsible for the offences.
October 1 gets to the root
of the matter just like the CI and ID documentaries. The film tells
the story of Danladi Waziri (Sadiq Daba), a police officer, mandated to
uncover a serial killer in Akote, a rural community, where he is
serving. He is assisted by Sgt. Afonja (Kayode Olaiya), a native of
Akote, who understands the traditions of the community. Incidentally,
these events take place in the build-up to Nigeria’s independence on 1st
October, 1960; which is where the film derives its name.
It is pleasant to see Sadiq Dada in a film long after he appeared in
Nightmare,
a 1995 Zik Zulu Okafor production that also starred Pete Edochie,
Onyeka Onwenu, Sandra Achums and Charles Okafor. Daba is excellent as
Danladi. The choice of Demola Adedoyin as Prince Aderopo is laudable
and he commendably plays his role with a wily demeanour.
