An Egypt Affair

The story is about 2 couples who are friends with each other on a trip to Egypt and what ensues there. Another couple joins the trip surprisingly and then there are affairs among these. The plot could have been better. The screenplay is a bit weak. Sometimes the scenes are stitched in a strange way. Most of the acting is weak too except the Egyptian woman itself who somehow reminds me of Sofia Vergara. The chemistry between two other couples is minimal and they fight over petty things. In the end they just wrap up quickly by revealing all the mysteries at once without any drama or anything and it saves the day for the protagonist. It might be watchable if you want to but definitely not worth the 9 or 10 stars given here.

I came across this movie at a film festival in Los Angeles. It's an indie movie and I wasn't sure what to expect. I found it an excellent combination of photography, acting, story and location. It has a film noir flavor with the characters facing questions about friendship, love and betrayal. I highly recommend the movie to people that are tired of the usual Hollywood big-movie offerings. I read that it was recently filmed entirely in Egypt, and the authentic feeling of being on the Nile, with the story taking place at the amazing ancient temples, in the desert, in the market streets -- all had a powerful impact on my enjoyment of this movie. It's a better movie than last year's "Death on the Nile" - which wasn't even filmed in Egypt!

What an unusual find! I saw this at the LA festival and was so glad I had an opportunity to experience it. This movie was actually filmed in Egypt and is very authentic. It brought me back to my travels there with the beautiful scenery and music. I could practically smell the spices and food in the market scenes! The plot has enough twists and complexity to be good on its own. The characters are believable and acting quality is better than I expect from an indie film. The scenery was an unexpected treat and video quality was much higher than most indie films. If you want to experience Egypt without your passport, this is a film to see.

If you love "Death on the Nile," this film is your cup of tea. If you like smart films with unpredictable twists and turns, you would find it attractive. If you are fond of exotics places, this movie stimulates your imagination. If you want to tap into deeper meaning beyond only beautiful images, this movie teaches you a lesson about human weakness.

Suspenseful, visually beautiful, entertaining, and in-depth. In almost every aspect, you would find "An Egypt Affair" is a hidden jewel !

And, unlike the recent movies that claim to be made in Egypt but actually made in other countries, "An Egypt Affair" was really shot in Egypt, by a group of dedicated artists. It's probably the most authentic film involving Egypt made by Americans. For that reason alone, it's worth a medal !

What's up with all the 9/10 and 10/10 ratings?! The movie got weak scenario and poor writing -- pathetic story lines. The three main male characters do NOT know how to act and deliver properly their lines. You can tell from their faces while speaking their dialect. The only beautiful thing about this movie is simply Egypt, the sceneries, and the female leading actress 'Yolanthe Cabau'. She is absolutely 'naturelle' in her acting and I believe will have a good promising movie roles may be in a Bond movie. Other than that do not waste your time watching this movie, unless if you want to fall asleep.
