Ras Bras

The Story:

"Head to Head" follows Darwish, a lovesick chauffeur, and Fayadh, a bootleg mechanic, as they pick up the wrong passenger - a retired crime lord named Abu Salim. This chance encounter throws them into a whirlwind of mistaken identities, car chases, and shootouts, all while Darwish tries to win over his dream girl, Sarah.

The Good: Hilarious Performances: The comedic duo of Abdulaziz Alshehri (Darwish) and Adel Radwan (Fayadh) is the heart of the film. Their chemistry is impeccable, and they deliver their lines with infectious enthusiasm.

Unique Saudi Perspective: "Head to Head" offers a rare glimpse into contemporary Saudi life, with its blend of tradition and modernity. The film is full of inside jokes and cultural references that will resonate with Saudi audiences but may fly over the heads of some international viewers.

Vivid Cinematography: The film's visuals are stunning, showcasing the beauty of the Saudi landscape. The desert scenes are particularly breathtaking.

The Not-So-Good:

Uneven Plot: The story can be meandering at times, with some plot points feeling forced or underdeveloped. The film's fast pace can also make it difficult to keep up with the twists and turns.

Weak Ending: The climax of the film feels rushed and underwhelming, leaving some viewers disappointed.

Overall:

"Head to Head" is a fun and entertaining film with a lot to offer, especially for Saudi audiences. However, its uneven plot and occasionally crude humor may not appeal to everyone. If you're looking for a lighthearted comedy with a unique cultural perspective, "Head to Head" is worth a watch. Just don't expect anything too deep or meaningful.

Although I'm big fan of westerns I found this one very amusing since its has obvious spaghetti western influence in term of sound tracks,, however in matter of directing I find it very good and for casting I found it amazing especially the actor Abdulaziz Alshehri with his natural jokes Also I like the Idea of this bad reputation town or city as location but what I like the most is the shots with grooms showing the beautiful landscape and Riyadh from a distance I think since the Saudis are new to the business they are doing very well.

Showing this amount of talented actors and high potential in the movie industry ,, good for them keep going with the same effort.

Ras Bras is a hilarious and thrilling ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The chemistry between the characters is fantastic and the performances are top-notch. The film is full of twists and turns that keep you guessing until the very end. It's a must-see for anyone who loves a good thriller with a healthy dose of comedy. I would rate it 10 out of 10 for its excellent blend of humor and suspense. Don't miss it!

It seems that a lot of reviewers did not get it , this movie is mainly about saudi culture and it is very hard to get it if you are not aware about this.

Directing , actor's chemistry is obviously demonstrated.

A ridiculous attempt to imitate Gotham's world with no clear purpose in the film. The work lacks identity, featuring poor costume design and weakly written dialogues. The comedy is absurd and unfunny, and the film doesn't deserve more than a 2. The cinematography is its only redeeming quality, but the rest of the film is utterly disastrous. The random costume choices completely ruined my viewing experience, and the lack of a coherent idea or purpose makes the film extremely frustrating. While the event progression is somewhat acceptable, the cast's performance felt overly artificial, with no genuine immersion into their characters. Honestly, this film is extremely bad, and the experience was so disappointing that I won't be watching it again.

A complete waste of time.

I can't stress enough on how boring and bad this movie is. A cheap "Western" ripoff at best. Rookies in writing, directing, filming, lighting, and acting. I hated every minute of the movies if we excluded Abdulaziz Alshehri's jokes, which I'm pretty sure is part of how naturally funny this guy is and was off-script.

I hope the director realizes he's not cut for this and sticks with animation, suits him better than dragging his name in the mud after all what he's done in Masameer.

I don't usually write reviews, but this movie was so bad that it provoked me to take the time and write one.
