Nollywood actor, Femi Adebayo‘s movie titled ‘Jagun Jagun’ (The Warrior), which premiered on Netflix today, 10, August, shows that the Yoruba movie industry has stepped up its game with movie productions.
From the cast, unpredictable storyline, bloodshed, fight scene, plot twist, soundtrack, subtle love story, and several stunts will give you goosebumps.
Femi Adebayo a few weeks ago while announcing the movie with a trailer, said the dream of the new project is to surpass the achievements recorded by his 2022 epic Movie, Agensikole.
The movie tells the story of a violent and selfish leader of an elite army who is threatened when a mystical young warrior crossed his path. Ogundiji possesses a large army and a school where men from diverse villages across Yorubaland come to train and become warriors for their respective villages. One of these men will be Gbotija (Lateef Adedimeji), an indigene of the village of Iwon with the power to talk to trees; the man with whom the story begins.
The young man, a character played by Lateef Adedimeji, was determined to become a mighty warrior, and he joined the elite army, encountering the wrath of the maniacal warlord (Femi Adebayo) and the love of a woman.
Ogundiji is threatened and upset by this and decides to set Gbotija on a path of destruction by giving him three deadly tests under the guise of testing him for promotion.
