A Waste of Time ..
I began watching this movie with high expectations as I love these kind of movies with few actors in a closed locations .. The beginning was promising and fast and up to the point .. No time was wasted in preparing for the story .. But as the story proceeded things got screwed .. The development of the events was not interesting at all .. I got bored of the story so quickly ..The way they were trying to discover the nature of the question and the way they tried to disqualify each others were ridiculous and boring .. And the actors were so bad that I couldn't understand where they stood from what is happening .. The way they reacted for extreme things such as the act of homicide was shallow as if they were a group of killers not ordinary people in an interview for a job!! And right before the end of the movie when you think that it can't get worse I was surprised with what considered to be the twist at the end .. Not because of the twist itself of course, but because it made me hate every second I had wasted on watching this movie .. A silly twist that didn't add nothing at the end and demonstrated how miserable the movie was .. I don't recommend that movie at all for anyone, unless you want to know how a trivial story and modest actors can meet to make you hate a category of movies you used to love before ..
Ardh el-Khof (1999)
One Of The Greatest Egyptian Movies Of All Time!
Land of Fear, where Yehia (Ahmed Zaki) went into after eating his own apple and agreeing to do such a mission. To forget his past life of being one of the best police officers and becoming inserted in drug dealers world completely as one of them, after being fired from the ministry of interior by fabricating a bribery case against him. An unusual mission aiming to understanding this vague world completely from a loyal agent inserted among that world starting from the bottom up to the very top of drug dealers, reporting every detail of his lifelong mission.
The movie takes your attention from the first scene of it thanks to its interesting plot together with the excellent acting of Ahmed Zaki, Abd El-Rahman Abou-Zahra, Ezzat Abou-Aouf and Hamdy Gheith. The movie theme and soundtrack were brilliantly used although there was some technical defect that could be felt in few parts.
I liked the projections that were used in the movie like the nickname of Yehia that he used in his letters (Adam) symbolizing eating the apple of sin, and giving the name (Mousa) to Abd El-Rahman Abou- Zahra who kept insisting that he was just a prophet who just carried the messages.
It is a great movie and I recommend it for all my friends. You won't regret watching it.
