Surprisingly good.

I watched my first Egyptian film a few weeks ago on Netflix, a horror called 122. It was one of the worst films I've seen in a while so I didn't have high expectations for this, my second Egyptian film. Glad I gave it a chance, it was a huge improvement. It is well acted and written, riddled with cryptically beautiful lines and symbolism (though parts were a little flatulent). The murder mystery is intriguing and the sharp but tormented detective is alluring. I very much liked the unpredictable end, strong female characters and overall style of this film. Conclusion: 8/10
