Route 10

Is this movie good ?, short answer, no, but isn't boring either !. It was quite fun. But the ending is underwhelming.

Long answer. The acting is..... acceptable, music choice is bad, classical Arab music right after an serious/action scene ?, that trope is fun sometimes but was executed horribly in this movie.

The cinematography is actually a redeeming factor in my eyes as it was pretty good. The characters start off as unlikeable, begin to feel more human and loveable, then quickly plummet into being unlikeable again

The plot is fun, but it was inspired heavily by duel so that doesn't count,

All the characters are one dimensional. The brother is a workaholic daddy's boy, who abandons his dreams for his dad. And the sister is a whiny little girl who somehow is so morally superior that she thinks murdering a poison animal for safety reasons is wrong, but accusing her family's migrant worker who didn't do anything of attempted murder.

The story isn't satisfying, it leaves you off with a sense of incompleteness

The aftermath of our character's actions are never addressed, making you loss your sense of immersion

One of the only redeeming qualities of the film is that it's never boring, surprisingly considering 95% of the movie takes place inside a car,

You can definitely enjoy the movie though, I know I did, even if it's bad what matters is the movie is fun.

The movie is excellent and deserves to be commended But there are some errors that should be highlighted Also, there should be a passage at the end of Who's the Man? Why is he chasing them? And how do they hear songs after a quick chase, and how do they leave the security man lying in the street without calling the police? Or send a report through the device? And how they entered Abu Dhabi on the white enclave?

The actors are very creative, and all thanks and appreciation to them, as well as the creative director in directing, is a great start and a film worthy of praise, were it not for some unintended errors.

The acting 👎🏼 the tough girl wanna be then cry then tough girl then blaming each other, not one scene/line made sense! And the ending wtf?! Why ?! And the brother tough and crybaby rich boy cant tell...is this an ad for nissan patrol? Toyoya land cruiser i dont know what type suv that is.

Or is it ad for bmw 730...😐 , im surprised its a 2022 movie with all that bad script and story telling, the writer/director did the worse job possible here, dont know abt the actress fatima but is it her or she needs some acting lessons?! This movie is a waste of time, i say watch it and you will know what i mean.

This film doesn't have much going for it other than the novelty of it being set in Saudi Arabia and having popular Saudi actors in it. The car chases and action sequences aren't too terrible, but the real missing factor to this movie is the plot.

The actors really had to stretch themselves given the poor writing. Fatima Al-Banawi is an incredible actress, but some of her lines felt forced and I kind of have to blame the director and writer for that. The same goes for Baraa.

His performance was surface level at best, although I'm sure he gave it his all. Overall the structure of the plot was lackluster, and the character's didn't have any depth.

Plus the ending was super confusing and felt out of pocket to Khaleeji culture.

Despite all of these flaws, I'm just glad that we're seeing more films set in Saudi Arabia with Saudi actors in them. If I were Netflix, I would focus on empowering Saudi directors and actors as opposed to bringing in directors from other countries.

While we all share common storylines as Arabs, the Saudi scene is much different and a Saudi director would definitely pick up on nuances that Khaleeji viewers would appreciate.

Overall, good effort from everyone involved and I hope to see an improvement in Saudi film-making in general, specifically within the thriller and action genres.

Before I write about how bad this movie is.. this is not a Saudi film.. I don't know why they keep saying that... Who made this garbage is a Lebanese film director, the story line doesn't fit the culture of Saudi Arabia.. also he was the writer.. you can imagine how bad it will be !

And, how you can made a movie like this in 2022? It was awful.. the cast is terrible.. the director made the film like a commercial ad for BMW.. I can't stop writing about how bad this movie Is.. I wish I could give it "0" because everything was bad.

In the end.. I want to say something to Baraa Alem, You are not good at acting... You should stop... (please.)
