Observation Post: Who [in the world] Killed Captain Alex?!

Into the mind of Chance Carantes


Who Killed Captain Alex is Uganda’s first ever action film (as far as I know).

It incorporates cut pieces of metal molded to look like guns, and totally awesome actors. You could hear some laughter in the background too.

Some of the scenes (like a scene where a chopper destroys buildings by sitting on it) were totally outrageous (and after the building “collapsed”, the fire stayed in the sky; this totally defies the laws of physics). Another [ridiculous] scene happens when the man in the helicopter shoots the ground with an AK. I mean, why would you do that? Don’t military choppers have guns mounted already? And besides, who’s driving the chopper? There was this one fighting scene which involved some people fighting in a building. When, suddenly, the helicopter “demolishes” the roof by once again sitting on it.

Some weird things are how they edited the blood when people get shot. It looks like fluffy cotton candy coming out of weird holes. Another “weirdness” are the explosions. Basically, it looks completely computer-work, and the explosions do completely no damage to any surroundings. Though it isn’t the best movie out there, it was still a good try from the Ramon Film Production to create an action film in a country where it had never been done before.

And in the end you got to ask, Who Killed Captain Alex?
