Mandoob alleil is a Saudi movie directed by Ali Al kalthami , I watched it on theater , first of all, Great directing, and great performance by the star actor Mohammed Al dokhei, from the first. Minute of this movie you'll feel like it kinda looks like taxi driver but with some changing , I like it a lot, not boring at all and it's the best Saudi movie I've seen so far , I have seen Satar and some other Saudi movies but this movie feels like an American movie from the 70s , as a big fan of American movies, mandoob alleil is the only Arabic movie that feels like a true movie with no bad messages,

A MUST SEEN.

This is a captivating movie that skillfully weaves together a compelling narrative, powerful performances, and stunning cinematography. The well-developed characters and thought-provoking storyline make it a must-watch, showcasing the talent and creativity emerging from the Saudi film industry. The movie reflects a cinematic renaissance within the film industry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with Saudi directors and actors emerging strongly onto the artistic and cultural scene. I hope to see more cinematic productions like this in the coming period. The number of films in the artistic scene is still limited, but the ambitious aspirations persist.

"Mandoob" offers a compelling narrative set, skillfully intertwining themes of desperation and opportunity. The film's strength lies in its portrayal of Fahad Algadaani, a mentally fragile protagonist racing against time to rescue his ailing father. The director adeptly captures the pulse of the city, creating a palpable sense of urgency. However, certain plot elements could have been explored more deeply, leaving room for a richer emotional connection with the characters, and the script is poor with no strong dialogues which left the viewer overthinking about every details which may lead to negative effect on the movie. Furthermore the ending was straight forward with no tension or buildup leaving the audience in shock of how its ended in the peak of the story!

Despite this, "Mandoob" succeeds in delivering a gripping tale that sheds light on the complexities of familial bonds in the face of adversity.

This movie directed by ali which is a saudi actor+director

i've never seen his directing work but after this movie i will definitely follow him, the way he moved from a scene to anoother and shooting in the dark and gives us the best scenes possible it's hard but he managed to do it perfectly, the rain and the roads, every scene was shooted perfectly however i have a note which is, in action scenes with the music we're thrilled and excited, then the scene will be moved immediately to a chilling scene

the acting staff is amazing, fahad-sara-maha-and the alcahol gang, everyone acting is so professional

I'll see it again definitely and congratulation everyone on this great work, proud of this saudi movie 🙏

BRUH! The acting? *chef's kiss* AlDokhi absolutely SLAYED! Like, imagine a YouTuber transforming into this INCREDIBLE actor who can make you laugh and terrified AT THE SAME TIME?! That chase scene? I literally can't even- MY JAW IS STILL ON THE FLOOR!

And can we talk about these VISUALS?! HONEY, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IS SERVING LOOKS! That elevator scene? ICONIC! And don't even get me started on those fireworks moments - it's like they took pretty and made it PRETTIER!

Sure, the plot might be giving us some Taxi Driver vibes, but make it Saudi and make it FRESH! It's like they took the classic recipe and added their special sauce - AND I'M HERE FOR IT!

Our main character? WHEW! Unhinged from the start but make it fashion! Some people missed the red flags but honey, they were having a PARADE! AlDokhi understood the assignment and DELIVERED IT WITH EXPRESS SHIPPING!

Ok, yes, some scenes were stretched like my patience waiting for pizza delivery, but you know what? I WAS LIVING FOR IT! While some found it boring (bless their hearts), I was eating up every second like it was the last slice of cake!

And about that Riyadh perspective - WERK! Even with its little quirks and that straight-to-the-point ending that hit like a surprise party gone wrong, this movie had me SHOOK in the best way possible!
