Alzarfa: Escape from Hanhounia Hell

Without a doubt, Telfaz is one of the greatest film producers.

What I noticed about Al-Zarfa, despite my keenness to understand that it's a comedy, is its lack of originality. For example, the music (they used the theme song from the TV series Prison Break, although creating something unique for the film would have made it a smash hit, even after a while) The use of common sounds, such as the recording of a child police officer! This is the scene I saw the most, and I said, "What's wrong with that?!" I have no comment on it.

The appearance of famous characters was a great idea, but the scenario for featuring them wasn't successful. It could have been better.

In my opinion, the work was subjected to obstacles that forced the producers to try to smooth out the scene.

The appearance of new actors is a successful step in its place, but the actor remains a prisoner of the director's artistic vision.

We look forward to more amazing works in the future. All the best 🙏

The film suffers from a poor storyline with no real plot, and the direction is very weak. The performance of Ibrahim Khairallah was disappointing; he seemed as if he belonged on YouTube rather than in a feature film, showing little to no acting skills. The actress who played the role of Al-Jawhara delivered a shallow and unconvincing performance, and her character itself was meaningless and poorly written.

Overall, the movie lacks depth, creativity, and proper execution, making it a below-average cinematic experience.

If you've ever wondered what would happen if a Snapchat ad was stretched into a full-length feature film, look no further (Al Zarfa) is here to answer that. A movie that somehow thinks adding TikTok and Snapchat influencers equals star power. The cast? A collection of social media personalities trying (and failing) to act. It's like watching a long, painfully awkward skit on Instagram Live, but in a cinema.

The plot? If you can even call it that. Gold gets stolen. That's it. That's the whole "twist." And what do they name this oh-so-mysterious treasure? "The Legendary." That's right, zero creativity, zero depth, and zero effort.

And then, as if that wasn't enough, they throw in Robert Knepper. Yes, that Robert Knepper.. famous for one role two decades ago and completely irrelevant now. Bringing him in and pretending the movie is "international" is like Al Hilal signing a retired international footballer who hasn't played a game in 20 years and calling him a "world-class" star.

This isn't a film - it's an insult to cinema itself. A shameless waste of money and resources on brain-dead trash that degrades both the audience's intelligence and the industry's standards. Supporting garbage like this is a direct betrayal of real talent and meaningful storytelling. Those in charge are either blind, incompetent, or simply don't care. The result? Fake prestige, zero substance, and a market drowning in manufactured mediocrity.

Continuing to pump money into projects like this is proof that decision-makers either lack basic taste or have no respect for the audience. It's surface-level PR, empty exposure, and a constant cycle of hollow productions, while genuine, thought-provoking cinema gets ignored and buried under waves of forgettable trash.

I watched it cause i was bored and my brothers chose it. Its so boring i wish i stayed home and slept it felt like watching a youtube video no plot whatsoever yet a lot is happening its an hour and 50 minutes but felt like four hours. What a waste of time the actors were so awkward the jokes were repetitive.
