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.

The movie is not high rated like the indian movies cause of the fake ratings, its maybe also exceptional in the egyption movies every thing is well done in it the acting is great just the actors who can find a very simple mistakes the story is great the locations are great and the director did it well they made it perfect without showing any of sex and nudity some other directors would prefer to put alot of them in a movie like this and it really doesn't matter at all I have enjoyed every minute I thought it will be a long movie but after i get into it I recognized that i was wrong and its a pleasure to watch it till the end

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

This story is really Egyptian. You can feel it. And the best thing that everything thing was logical

Along with "The Blue Elephant" movie, this movie changes the way we look at Egyptian filmmaking industry and sets a standard for anyone in Egypt thinking about making a movie. Marwan Hamed drops on us, yet again, an amazing movie starting from screenplay, acting, cinematography and of course directing but the one thing that stands out for me is the storytelling which was in perfect order and timing although the runtime was a bit long, and also, WHAT A STORY from Ahmed Mourad !! Amazing use of cinematography in intense and damatic scenes without overdoing and without the need of any nudity to express the feelings of the characters. Mohamed Mamdouh is stunning yet again in all aspects along with Asser Yassin of course and Menna Shalabi and every actor in the movie in all fairness. I hope we could see a lot more of this from Egyptian filmmakers .... WELL-DONE !!!
