200 Pounds

I had higher expectations for this movie but I got bored after watching the first 15 minutes, tried to give another shot but could not continue watching, I recognized I am awaiting my time watching it!!

What a great idea of a movie to show the differences and similarities between different classes.. How the value of one paper can be very different.

It made us laugh, cry and think.

I can't understand how the director made it look that bad while having such an amazing cast. I was so excited to see Isaad -for example- after a long time of being away but I was absolutely disappointed. All of the those actors had way way more potential. There is no attention to detail, no character development. I found the most dramatic scenes funny and sometimes illogical and hence meaningless. Not recommended.

A movie that brought together a large number of actors with no clear goal other than the marketing process The story is very weak, the dialogue is inconsistent with the characters, the performance of the great actors is not enough.

This should have been made as a TV series (Period). The idea is ambitious, the characters are fairly interesting, and the production is decent. The main problem is that the movie tries to tell the story of too many characters in a very short period of time (due to the movie runtime limitations). The story feels rushed and the events seem crammed. You don't get enough time to connect with any of the characters which is a huge problem for a movie that is supposedly full of suffering and misery. I started to lose interest towards the end as the formula got too tiring.

I hope that the likes of Netflix/Shahid/OSN pick up the idea and make it into a proper TV series - at least a single 45-min episode per character so we can have enough time to connect.
