Un contre un

A complete waste of time.

I can't stress enough on how boring and bad this movie is. A cheap "Western" ripoff at best. Rookies in writing, directing, filming, lighting, and acting. I hated every minute of the movies if we excluded Abdulaziz Alshehri's jokes, which I'm pretty sure is part of how naturally funny this guy is and was off-script.

I hope the director realizes he's not cut for this and sticks with animation, suits him better than dragging his name in the mud after all what he's done in Masameer.

I don't usually write reviews, but this movie was so bad that it provoked me to take the time and write one.

Although I'm big fan of westerns I found this one very amusing since its has obvious spaghetti western influence in term of sound tracks,, however in matter of directing I find it very good and for casting I found it amazing especially the actor Abdulaziz Alshehri with his natural jokes Also I like the Idea of this bad reputation town or city as location but what I like the most is the shots with grooms showing the beautiful landscape and Riyadh from a distance I think since the Saudis are new to the business they are doing very well.

Showing this amount of talented actors and high potential in the movie industry ,, good for them keep going with the same effort.

First, I really liked the effort put into displaying and showing the quality of production in the movie. The plot was decent, nothing much to talk about, and I really enjoyed the comedy, which made me laugh. Also, while the acting was nice, the story didn't serve the actors, or, let's say, it didn't give the actors the space to demonstrate how good they are. Additionally, I can't pass the sequence of events, which I didn't like, and I see that the movie moved so fast, and that is my opinion. I should really appreciate the directing and shooting style, and I can recall specific scenes where I really adored the position of the camera and how it moved in some scenes. Nice movie to watch.

The Story:

"Head to Head" follows Darwish, a lovesick chauffeur, and Fayadh, a bootleg mechanic, as they pick up the wrong passenger - a retired crime lord named Abu Salim. This chance encounter throws them into a whirlwind of mistaken identities, car chases, and shootouts, all while Darwish tries to win over his dream girl, Sarah.

The Good: Hilarious Performances: The comedic duo of Abdulaziz Alshehri (Darwish) and Adel Radwan (Fayadh) is the heart of the film. Their chemistry is impeccable, and they deliver their lines with infectious enthusiasm.

Unique Saudi Perspective: "Head to Head" offers a rare glimpse into contemporary Saudi life, with its blend of tradition and modernity. The film is full of inside jokes and cultural references that will resonate with Saudi audiences but may fly over the heads of some international viewers.

Vivid Cinematography: The film's visuals are stunning, showcasing the beauty of the Saudi landscape. The desert scenes are particularly breathtaking.

The Not-So-Good:

Uneven Plot: The story can be meandering at times, with some plot points feeling forced or underdeveloped. The film's fast pace can also make it difficult to keep up with the twists and turns.

Weak Ending: The climax of the film feels rushed and underwhelming, leaving some viewers disappointed.

Overall:

"Head to Head" is a fun and entertaining film with a lot to offer, especially for Saudi audiences. However, its uneven plot and occasionally crude humor may not appeal to everyone. If you're looking for a lighthearted comedy with a unique cultural perspective, "Head to Head" is worth a watch. Just don't expect anything too deep or meaningful.

The movie start good and ends badly not gonna lie, But overall it wasn't that bad it's a good start even though there's so many problem with the writing and the directing but it wasn't a total flop I can see the influence of Quentin Tarantino from the directing part but I personally thought that it was not genuine not quite good to be honest they were kind of forcing Quentin Tarantino style and it was a total of failure I hate to say it but it was sadly. The writing was filled with plot holes and there was a lot of scenes that didn't make any sense I was like how possibly would've that happen, now I know it's not the real world but there is some choices from the sun of Diamond that make's me feel that the character is an idiot no question ask like there's no way that he fall for the same mistake twice in the same day! Twice, and he supposed to be the boss of the family!. I know I've been harsh but honestly the movie was enjoyable even with those problem, better then some of the Saudi movie's I've watched.
