El marrajo

I really wanted to give this movie a chance but it was disappointing to say the least. I don't know much about these actors, they are probably famous in Egypt but their ham acting and unnecessary overacting just ruins the movie. This is the same problem with Bollywood actors. They try to bring their stardom out and ham out everything and make it unbearable to watch. The calmest actors in this movie are the marine life. These people should never get into the water again and they deserve to be eaten by the sharks. I never once felt sorry for them. Stupid people deserve stupid things. Netflix is garbage as always nothing new about that.

A word of caution if you choose to watch this movie, prepare to be bored for about 44 minutes ... and then confused for the remainder of the experience. For a movie called Mako, I would guestimate that sharks have less than 3 minutes of total screen time. The plot also becomes increasingly difficult to follow once the film crew goes underwater: first, the characters are nearly unidentifiable with their scuba gears, and second, actual events are interspersed with scenes that represent hallucinations induced by depth narcosis. On the plus side though, the underwater cinematography is fairly impressive, all things considered.

Where do I start? The premise at the beginning seemed ok and then the film devolved into a drama less about the shark and more about everyone going crazy or having ulterior motives. While these actors are known in their country, many of us have no idea who they are. So the idea to obscure their faces throughout most of the movie made it even more confusing. I couldn't tell who was the main female character at times. There were pointless scenes that could've been cut out. The motives of some characters were muddled and confusing. The writing and situations poorly thought out. The escape was nonsensical. This movie is an embarrassment to the actors.

The idea is new for an Egyptian movie, but it lacks almost every sense of the original idea. The movie should have kept you interested until the very end, but this one ended before you knew it. I like the directing and the under water shots. In fact, they actually dived in for the movie. But the ending just makes no sense. There are an enormous number of mistakes that just can't be ignored. They rushed into the scenes to cut short the movie and spent almost half of the movie on pointless scenes. I would not recommend it..

I don't know what this is really. No acting. No story line. Nothing whatsoever. What were they thinking? I don't know. It's a failure for me by all means. First time to hold my mobile while watching a movie in theatre. I did not do it even in Deadpool.
