Editi Effiong’s debut feature The Black Book is a Netflix action revenge thriller akin to John Wick or Taken.
The Big Picture The Black Book has taken Netflix by storm. It is one of the platform's top trending movies in several countries and has gained quite a traction among US film enthusiasts. Wonder what kind of film it is? If you have seen John Wick or Pierre Morel's Taken, Editi Effiong's The Black Book will be a journey down memory lane.
Other notable Nollywood actors the film stars include Nigerian-American actress Ade Laoye as Vic Kalu, a principled journalist determined to expose the evil in her society, Alex Usifo Omiagbo as General Isa the main villain, and Shaffy Bello's portrayal of overbold Big Daddy with her all-female army of baddies.
The Black Book also does not shy away from showcasing Nigeria's power struggles. The film's society is run by power, and power is clearly defined in a hierarchical structure. Set in a country that has already had eight coup attempts since its independence in 1960, with devastating effects, The Black Book shows that whoever holds power grips onto it with both hands. The film depicts the power dynamics between those in authority and those who are under that authority.
