Hounds of War (2024) tells the story of an elite mercenary unit sent on what they believe is a routine assignment, only to realize they’ve been deliberately led into a trap by the very people who hired them. The mission turns into a massacre, and almost every member of the squad is wiped out.
Only Ryder makes it out alive. Fueled by loyalty and anger, he sets out on a personal crusade to expose the betrayal and hunt down every person involved in sacrificing his team.
Your one of the team members is named Femi. While the film does not explicitly discuss his background, the name “Femi” is distinctly Yoruba and widely used in Nigeria. This suggests a subtle inclusion of Nigerian representation, even though the movie doesn’t dwell on it or connect it to the character’s story. It’s a small but meaningful cultural marker for those who recognize it.
Overall, the movie delivers a solid blend of action, revenge, and brotherhood themes. It was not a flop, and its intense storyline along with the emotional drive behind Ryder’s mission makes it worth watching. If you pay close attention, details like the Yoruba name add another layer of cultural nuance that viewers familiar with Nigerian names will appreciate.
