3/10
An empty attempt with too many loose ends
6 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is terrible.

Starting from the scenery: 1. The first scene of a dinner table, no family in that level eats on a high table.

2. Then an extremely forced "parent hitting kids" scene with no dramatic need.

3. The the tourism bus to Cairo!!

To the bigger things: 1. The extremely exaggerated image of muslims brotherhood. I hate them, but no, they are not violent or bad mannered.

2. In Azhar and only 5 boys are praying Fajr? That's how you find out who belongs to a "terrorist group"? LOL!

3. the extremely oversimplified view of the government intelligence. I've seen better representations in YouTube sketches, let a lone a movie with such production.

4. Actors with non native accents, they speak like foreigners. Very bad conversations in general and too many empty sentences.

5. The boy who is the main character, he looks indeed like a villager, that's the only good thing. But he has zero charisma. His arguments that made such bigger people in high positions be convinced were so empty and vain.

This movie makers had almost zero effort to make it real and representative. It's basically based on Egyptian liftests social media posts and chit chat claims.
