Kira&Gin is the most entertaining and enthralling cinematic experience in the history of Egyptian filmmaking. The writer Ahmed Mourad and the filmmaker Marwan Hamed are back with their new breakout Kira & Gin. The movie is about a group of Egyptian resistance fighters against the British occupation. The portrayal of this period in Egyptian history is mind-blowing, represented in location, building, cars , clothes even weapons.
The creators of the movie brings to life on screen action, heroism, hardship of the occupation and the beauty of classic Egypt. The movie opens with extraordinary scene of the famous Denshawai incident, and takes us through so many other unconventional sets. The cinematography standout and different nationalities ( British, Egyptian) and different generations of actors brings freshness to the screen. Characters are vivid and various and most of actors nailed it.
Though the film is 3 hours, the intensity of events and complexity of the story, make you can't get enough of it.
Kira & Gin is a revolutionary movie that gives the audience a blunt look of how occupation was, and revives the sense of appreciation for the peoples sacrifice is present. All of that without taking away the " enjoy it" factor from the audience.

I have read the novel by Ahmed Mourad many years ago, never imagined it would come to life as Marwan Hamws and Mourad have done in this amazing masterpiece which made me laugh and cry
Loved it and enjoyed every moment and so did my 21 years old daughter and 70 years old mom ..
3 hours of shear pleasure ..
The most amazing Arabi film I have ever watched.
Suspenseful, thrilling, brilliantly written, and engaging source material. The fact that it's based on true events makes it even more compelling. A must-see!!
Kira & Gin is epic
The movie is amazing. I'm so proud that I saw an Egyptian movie is up to this standard. Every single scene is dazzling. I fell in love with all characters and didn't feel that the movie is long. Please go watch it.
Can't believe I saw this level of action and drama in an Egyptian film. I enjoyed the novel so much, yet the movie is different. Its true the movie is long but not boring at all. The directing is extraordinary , sets , clothes. Just perfect.
