No. of Paragraph 11

Brotherhood‘s release in 2022 was arguably one of the moments in nollywood history that will be looked back on as a groundbreaking moment. Similar to the release of Kemi Adetiba’s King of Boys in 2018, Brotherhood marks the beginning of nollywood’s exploration into serious modern action films.

The movie tells the story of twin brothers Akin (Tobi Bakre) and Wale (Falz), who find themselves on different sides of the law after a series of unfortunate events. Akin is in and out of prison and upon his recent release he entangles himself with the most dangerous gang on the streets “Ojuju Boys” and convinces them to take on even more daring and high-profile jobs. On the other side, Wale joins the prestigious SWAT team of the Nigerian Police Force and tries to make a name for himself while slowly developing feelings for the daughter of his team’s lead.

Production. Casting and Performances. While there are many groundbreaking and spectacular aspects of this film, these are the three most unforgettable ones. Unlike your typical nollywood foray, it’s clear that finances are not the limiting factor in the production of this film. Scene to scene, it is evident that investments were made into big things and little things alike. Ranging from the choreography and staging of the action scenes to the intentional lighting of every single scene that adds to the general mood and feel of the film.

The casting decisions here are intensely original and considerably intelligent especially when compared to a typical ‘new’ nollywood flick. One of these is the decision to cast Tobi Bakre who is relatively new to the scene in a lead role for a genre that is mostly under explored in the industry as opposed to the typical nollywood move of choosing an established lead star. And then the decision to use the more established actors like O.C. Ukeje, Sam Dede, and the likes to support him was a brilliant gamble that paid off. As Tobi embodies the grit and rawness of Akin without being encumbered by the weight of some previously attained ‘star boy’ status.
