        waste my time

        Rating: 0/10

        I had high hopes for this movie, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a complete disappointment. The script was extremely weak, lacking depth, coherence, or any real engagement. The storyline felt rushed and poorly developed, leaving too many unanswered questions while treating the audience as if they couldn't think for themselves.

        One of the biggest issues was the complete lack of explanation for key events. Instead of providing logical storytelling, the movie seemed to assume that viewers would just accept random plot points without any justification. This resulted in a frustrating experience where nothing made sense, making it impossible to stay invested in the story.

        The characters were poorly written, with no real development or depth. Their actions often felt forced or illogical, making it hard to relate to or care about their fates. Dialogue was another weak point-stiff, unnatural, and at times downright cringeworthy. It was as if the script was written in a rush without any effort to refine it.

        Visually, the movie didn't offer anything special either. While some scenes might have been decently shot, they couldn't compensate for the major flaws in writing and direction. The pacing was inconsistent, with some scenes dragging on unnecessarily while others felt abrupt and unresolved.

        Overall, this movie was a complete waste of time. It had potential, but poor execution ruined any chance of it being enjoyable. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If you're looking for something engaging, logical, and worth your time, this is not the film for you.

        A failure movie

        I felt nervous and anxious while watching this movie .. Very bad story The best of it is Mona Zaki's performance 7/10 Very bad performance from Farag 5/10 and Khater 1/10 Expected more from the movie 💔

        Nice Try

        I don't think we have a lot of that one-set movies, That's a good start. Mona Zaki was great. the other two characters were quite good.

        As for the plot, it was not good at all. Just as always, take an English plot and do the Egyptian touch, and you're good to go.

        I wish the Egyptian Agencies try to invest more in their plots. we have a great library of great novels in every genre ready for adaptation
