An Egypt Affair

What an unusual find! I saw this at the LA festival and was so glad I had an opportunity to experience it. This movie was actually filmed in Egypt and is very authentic. It brought me back to my travels there with the beautiful scenery and music. I could practically smell the spices and food in the market scenes! The plot has enough twists and complexity to be good on its own. The characters are believable and acting quality is better than I expect from an indie film. The scenery was an unexpected treat and video quality was much higher than most indie films. If you want to experience Egypt without your passport, this is a film to see.

What a excellent film. The great photography and location by it self was worthy of awards, but the story and acting was top notch also. One of the best Indy movies I've seen in a long time.

I highly recommend the movie to anyone who likes travel, friendship and betrayal.

The lead actress., Yolanthe Cabau did a fantastic job in her role. Her acting, looks and dancing were spot on for a temptress.

Massimiliano "Massi" Furlan, who I have seen in other movies, never seems to fail in his roles. Once again, he turned in a convincing performance. You can't help but not trust his character as Darius.

A great romantic thriller film set in Egypt. The cinematography was a breath of fresh air with all of the shots filmed on location in Egyptian cities. The landscapes paired with grounded talented acting and storytelling made for an enjoyable film through and through. I personally get excited when I see production teams go the extra mile and film on-location without the aid of green screens. The ensemble cast was also nicely curated, a perfect melting pot of personalities and abilities. The director Marlin Darrah does it again by telling a tale of Americans getting into dramatic events abroad in a foreign land!

The story is about 2 couples who are friends with each other on a trip to Egypt and what ensues there. Another couple joins the trip surprisingly and then there are affairs among these. The plot could have been better. The screenplay is a bit weak. Sometimes the scenes are stitched in a strange way. Most of the acting is weak too except the Egyptian woman itself who somehow reminds me of Sofia Vergara. The chemistry between two other couples is minimal and they fight over petty things. In the end they just wrap up quickly by revealing all the mysteries at once without any drama or anything and it saves the day for the protagonist. It might be watchable if you want to but definitely not worth the 9 or 10 stars given here.

The Best movie I have seen Jarred Harper in.... I want more.

I am normally not a fan of B type movies, but this one I enjoyed. Big romance buff at heart; and this movie made me tingle. And I really enjoyed the plot twist.

Jarred Harper is the exact attractive young actor that needs more promotion and better roles. I look forward to watching Jarred perform in A type movies in the future.

I know he is also directing as well; I am crossing my fingers he is close to paying the dues it takes to make it to the big time.

Hopefully, Jarred can be the actor/director he wants to accomplish in Hollywood or wherever the industry takes him.
