This movie take you on a journey with man who we know nothing about to someone with face,name, and a package and we want him to win or "I wanted him to win ", a lot of ups and down , i loved the cinematography A LOTS , the plot is complete you understand why our guy went this far, l loved the foreshadowing of using the light to tell us a massage,however, there's a lot of missed opportunities and some scenes that needed more tension so the audiences can be more engaged and feel the threat he's facing , overall I loved the movie and I recommend it specially that's Ali first movie l salute him there's no scene with no purpose l can feel the attention and care through the whole movie bravo 👏
"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.

Story narrative is the greatest yet of all Saudi movies, and some of Hollywood's as well.
A great story shows how far will a person go when they suffer. The risks they'll take, the troubles they'll get into, and how they'll get out of it. An underdog individual, how feels stuck in a society that he doesn't fit into.
The story is the highlight of the movie. Yet not to forget mentioning the great directing, the amazing soundtracks, coloring, performances, locations.
Mohammed Aldokhei's performance was remarkable, I was stunned to see what he was able to deliver!
It's definitely a must watch movie. Seeing it in theaters absolutely gave it another dimension.

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.
A MUST SEEN.

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 🙏
