October 1 (2014) - 148 min

Country: Nigeria
Director: Kunle Afolayan
Cast: Sadiq Daba, Kayode Olaiya, David Bailie & Kehinde Bankole.
Inspector Danladi Waziri finished his investigation about the mystery behind the murder of few women in Akote Town in Ibadan, before Independence Day. He is about to discuss the whole events with the District Officer Robert Winterbottom.
It's not a fast-paced investigation movie and doesn't expect a nail-biting experience from it. Nigerian people love the rom-com genre and the box office is ruled by those films. There are few other genre movies which make a secure place in the list like October 1. The killer identity was revealed in the midway and you can easily guess it before that even happens. Sadiq performance reminds me of the fact of you don't need physique to play the role of an investigation officer unless you fully do justice to the role. It won many African awards like Africa Film Academy, Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, Pan African Film Festival & Africa International Film Festival. Overall, I am really impressed with the movie and worth a few hours of your time if you like to spend it in Nollywood.
Verdict: Good
