The Ambush (2021)
9/10
A well-made war movie
30 November 2021
Al Kameen is a major qualitative leap in the history of Emirati and Gulf cinema in general. With a huge budget, Image Nation was able to present a war movie that will remain unforgettable. From the first scene in the movie, we can sense that we are on the cusp of a very different experience from what we are used to in our films. French director Pierre Morel succeeded with distinction in presenting a very elaborate war movie. He adhered to the most important standards of war films, which is to present a clear picture of the story and the difficult task of our heroes. He did not delve too much into the details of the characters and their backgrounds, and put us directly in the heart of the event and the suffering of its characters.

He chose a very ideal location for filming events. The most important is the elaborate sounds of gunfire and explosives that almost accompanied us throughout the film and made us feel our presence in the heart of the battle with them. The transition from one scene to another was very impressive and smooth, thanks to the amazing montage in this movie. The film's aesthetic was enhanced by a wonderful and very impressive soundtrack, especially in the last scenes of the film. And the acting crew was above excellent, and everyone gave a distinguished performance, and the reason is due to what this story and events mean to them.

Al Kameen is a war movie that deals with the unfortunate events suffered by Emirati soldiers and how they were rescued from this ambush. Although the film is patriotic, it is in the first place a very respectable movie, and it provided me with an enjoyable and touching experience with all its details. I advise everyone to watch it as soon as possible.

Al Kameen "a turning point in the history of Gulf cinema"
