Turab el-Mas

As a movie based on a novel, the comparison between the novel and the movie imposes itself, and surprisingly both of them are great here.

The movie delivers the story in a very clear manner, everything is connected well and justified.

Usually the movie that starts with a murder catches your attention, but it can easily leave you disappointed if you stayed in the dilemma for a long time, but this didn't happen here.

The sequence of events is smooth and in a very good rhythm, the idea itself is genuine and the components of the movie add more strength to it.

The acting here is brilliant from all of the cast, great face and body actions and reactions, the costumes added a depth to the characters.

The directing and videography were beautiful, they added to the thrill of the story by using fitting angles of the cameras and dim color correction.

Finally, it's a great action and thrill Egyptian Arabic movie, it worths to watch although its long running time, but feeling bored is not possible here except for some scenes.

I've seen some of Ahmed Mourad's work and I've read the novels and my mind is blown by the way the great Marwan Hamed adapted this amazing novel into an absolute masterpiece that just sets a new meaning for Egyptian movies in my opinion. the plot is amazing, the character development is just awesome and the characters themselves are well written and pretty thought-out, the acting is yet spot on and I can't say enough about the directing. just a masterpiece.

Diamond Dust feels like a two hour episode of Breaking Bad which is a great thing. The plot is very good, it's not often that you see an Egyptian film that relies more on acting and the plot more than action packed scenes or offensive comedies. There is only one part in the story that just seemed forced to keep it going which was kind of disappointing.

Menna Shalabi's performance is just amazing. The music seems a little derived from Dunkirk's ticking clock but it still was good.

This film can change how modern people view Egyptian film making industry again.

It's have been a while really since I enjoyed an Arabic movie despite the length of the movie like more than 2 hours I enjoyed every minute

Marwan hamed one of the best Egyptian directors now and this movie one of his best movies ever
