2. A Tribe Called Judah
Five brothers, one mission—pull off a heist to save their mother. Jedidah, played by Funke Akindele, has raised them alone. When she falls seriously ill, they have no choice but to rob a mall. Just one problem—another gang got there first. The twists, the tension, and the unexpected moments keep this film at the top of the list.
