"Enter town, then get out of it." Netflix has launched the first official trailer for Mosul, an intense action-thriller directed by Matthew Michael Carnahan, an acclaimed screenwriter making his feature directorial debut. This film premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year, and also stopped by TIFF, and is produced by the Russo Brothers - Joe & Anthony. One of their first big non-Marvel projects following all the Avengers movies. An extraordinary true story of heroism in the face of overwhelming odds, a police unit from Mosul fights to liberate the Iraqi city from thousands of Isis militants. Shot entirely in Arabic - the movie stars Suhail Dabbach (Major Jasem), Adam Bessa (Kawa), Is'haq Elias (Waleed), plus Hayat Kamille, Waleed Elgadi, Thaer Al-Shayei, Ben Affan, and Mohimen Mahbuba.

Synopsis:
Between 2014 and 2017, Isis occupied the Iraqi city of Mosul. During those years, the only group to fight the occupiers continuously was Nineveh province’s Swat unit, made up of local men who had either been injured or had a family member killed by Isis. Carnahan’s Mosul is a gripping tribute to these fighters for whom the incentives were intensely personal. Kawa (Adam Bessa), a 21-year-old police officer,...

We’re still waiting for the role that will prove that Jon Hamm has a future after Mad Men. This middling hostage negotiation drama doesn’t insult our intelligence yet is still not that much more impressive than an average ‘let’s go to a war zone!’ episode of NCIS. Rosamund Pike plays an intrepid diplomat/agent who chooses to go rogue with Hamm’s character because (surprise) the system is so corrupt.
