Alhamour H.A.

For a first time director , it's actually VERY good .. although the story telling was horrible , it was too focused on women/ partying and missing important story parts , characters were introduced as cool but there's really no depth to them .. the guy mentioned he loved asian culture/women? Never saw it again , the guy who was very good into selling illegal stuff? Never saw him doing it .. there's just so much story but too little details and much focused on the partying side .. i wanted to see more characters depth and more story telling , i hope this find the director well. The wolf of wall street is a great reference to understand what i meant .. the director gave us characters depth while ALSO showing partying and other stuff , the ending was so funny and one of the best saudi movies i've ever seen , good work.

The movie I saw recently was below average. It lacked originality and failed to capture my attention. The story felt flat and the characters were uninteresting. The cinematography and special effects were nothing memorable and the soundtrack added nothing to the overall experience. The pacing was off and the movie felt drawn-out and slow. The characters seemed one dimensional and lacked any real depth. However, while it may be entertaining in parts, there are far too many cliches and moments of convenient coincidences to make it worth watching. Overall, it was not a waste of time and i did actually enjoyed the movie. As a local from Jeddah, you can appreciate the efforts they did to take you back in the early 2000s.

What a nostalgic brilliant piece of art!

Saudi Arabia before and after..

The movie is based on a true story yet the story telling was so nostalgic and represented an era that we all lived and connected to the bitter sweet of it. Some might find it too bold but I loved how transparent it was. The humor and jokes were AMAZING.

I don't get the bad review, do yourself a favor and watch it! Acting was top notch! The main characters did an amazing job! Cant wait to see them all star in other movies.

Best Saudi movie so far! Watched it 4 times already and don't mind watching it again (probably on Netflix).

The movie is a hopeless attempt to copy 'The Wolf of Wall Street movie but failed badly. The acting is really bad, like the actors just didn't know how to make their characters interesting or real. The story is just a bunch of old, boring ideas put together, and it doesn't flow well at all. It's clear the movie wants to be exciting and funny like the original, but it's just not. It's hard to watch because every scene feels forced and clumsy. It's a big disappointment and shows how not to make a movie. Watching it is a real test of patience.

I would advice those who didn't watch the Wolf of Wall Street to invest their time wisely.

The movie is a I understand the +18 rating as it pushes the boundaries in saudi cinema when it comes to explicit content, the acting is spot on with a few misses when it comes to the chemistry between the lead actor and his second wife. The cinematography is not consistent as you got some top notch shots followed by mediocre ones, it's like different teams worked on the project. The dialogue is very smart and the world building of early 2000's saudi is a refreshing nostalgia.

My main critique is that you can tell the movie took notes from wolf of wallstreet, and in someway it felt cringe

Overall, the movie is a fun, daring, sincere and true to the real story and I consider it a big step up to where Saudi cinema started.
