A good one.

Actually, it could have been better but still I find this movie a good start into the right direction for the Egyptian cinema.

Actors might need more courses lol but directing was really good, maybe with less nonsense action scenes and more story with twisters would make it a perfect Egyptian movie.

Could have been better

With such cast, production budget and producing company i have expected something better.

Ahmed Ezz could have performed better.

Ahmed Fahmy is a rocking star.

Carmen is the next big female star in the middle east by far.

This movie plot needed Tareq Eleryan to direct it.

"Younis" NOT "The Knower"

First, no relationship between the title of the movie and the script. Second, Acting of Ezz is perfect as usual but i think that crew couldn't keep up with him. Third, half of these points are for that pretty...

A good movie to be seen.

The movie is good and shows that there are evolves in the Egyptian cinema.

Acted and directed very well. Although the story wasn't new, the action of Ahmed and that evil character by Ahmed gave the movie a good spirit that made it enjoyable.

There are some mistakes "not a lot and not everyone can notice them" but the whole movie as an Egyptian was good and tells us that we're going to see evolve in our upcoming movies.

Barely watchable. could've been better

Good cast, excellent cinematics, but a horrible, and cringy plot. An honest waste of potential.

Cinema Movie

If you go to movie theater you will have a good experience, very good cast and you will feel that Egyptian world can provide an international excellent movie that can compete.

it is a kind of a movie that you predict what will happen before every scene.

Poor acting and stereotyping .

It is not a good watch experience for me at all. Visuals are okay. The story is so misleading and the move can be better.

It's James Bond and John Wick taken to the blender

First of all I'd like to hint that synopsis is unrelated what so ever to the movie so I don't know who exactly added that but it has to be revised A. S. A. P

Also stating a fact , if this movie was dubbed and released to the U. S theatres it would have made it to a block buster .

This movie has a grand budget , wadded through several countries , fight choreography was pretty similar to John Wick's , an original OST , nothing that could have been done was spared , and all that for an Egyptian movie where I wonder how on earth will they be able to collect that budget back .

Fahmy despite being a comedian nailed the role and gained the hate he deserved , Ezz on the other hand have shown athletic and flexibility traits never seen on Egyptian actors before that made the fight scenes convenient most of the time .

Well done everybody , keep up the good work .

P. S I can't believe all those people who rated it 6 , I mean what are they comparing it to anyways ?

Inaccurate information

At the beginning of the movie they introduce a city in Libya and they said its in southern Libya which is false info as Derna is an eastern Libyan city ?!

The beginning of the professional

A very bold move from Egyptian films , especially Synergy Film Production.

What a wonderful crew, the choice of actors is very amazing.

I know my words are exaggerated, but when you look at the previous Egyptian films, you will find that we have not progressed in the film industry as we are today

I also did not follow Egyptian films and I used to watch American and Spanish films, but now I have started adding Egyptian films to my watch list.

Evolution

Amazing direction,casting with medium story plus a strong sound track, astonishing action scene new for Egyptian action movies, solid hand combat scenes.. Overall I enjoyed the 2 hours long movie.. I'm looking forward to part 2.

Magnificent Arabian Action Edition

Of this level we can now say somehow we able to reach Hollywood movies unlike Bollywood fak maker. I always like Hollywood movies and don't like those arabic ones as they always have low budget for doing action seen.

can't underrate it !

By trailer i thought it would focus on hacking mainly , but it turned into action scenes , which could have been better , I'd like to see Ahmed Ezz in movies other than action ones, He's awesome so I can't underrated it.

BEST FILM EVER

It is a very planed out film with great VFX and visuals, the quality is amazing and the acting is astonishing, unlike most arabic films, stuff like bombs explosions and falling aren't done well but this has amazing vfx that make me think they actually happend in real life, the idea that a yunis wants to get his revenge after his house was blown up realy makes it more interesting, it is a bit bloody, it's so good infact I think of it as the egyptian jhon wick. This film is realy underrated so please give it a watch and don't let the reviews influence you, totally does not deserve a 6.2 star rating.
