    Great Movie

    I have always heard lots of criticism about this movie to the point I was advised to save my money when it was released as it is not worth it and so I did! Here I'm after all these years watching this great movie for the first time and learning a very good lesson 'Never trust what people say.' This movie is great and one of a kind in the history of Egyptian Cinema.

    Cairo, the unforeseen events.

    Hello,

    While the movie is full of bloody scenes and extreme violence; It still shows some very true aspects of life in underground Cairo. Dealing narcotics, murder crimes and more of what a tourist would never see in a trip to Cairo. Love, on the other side is very obvious in the movie between Houriya and Ebraheem; The characters played their roles in a very professional way making the viewers live each second of the movie as if it was going in real time. It is a great movie if you want to know what happens in Cairo "below those bridges" when you travel from above..

    Is it a biblical-based story?

    I watched this movie on a very late time, three years after being released in fact. Ibrahim, the ideal hero, was living with his mother and saw his father murdering without any ability to prevent the killers. However, his mother has died leaving him alone within a bush of slums, nearby Cairo. The big guy, Mahmoud Abdel-Aziz who dressed in black, loves the girl that fallen in love with Ibrahim (I remembered Maria Magdalena at the moment). The story line is simple and ended with killing Ibrahim after being betrayed by his closest friend who took a few money in exchange of trapping Ibrahim at a coffee shop. Many friends said that I'm exaggeratedly interpreted the story, but I told them that the producing company is Good News, the Aramaic name of the New Testament!While I loved the cinematography, music, editing of that movie, I see Marawan Hamed, the director, a just clever director, not a creative one.

    brilliant

    Everybody saw this movie kept telling me that it's so bad movie.But when i saw it i really knew that they were idiots.it's a great movie and one of the best Egyptian movies ever made.the script is very good the acting is awesome and though the main character "AHMED EL .." wasn't as great as the others "MAHMOUD" played a great role one of the best in his life and also "Amer waked" .this film worth watching not only one times.watch it and it gonna be one of your favorites.THE SCENES WERE VERY VIOLENT AND HAVE A A LOT OF BLOOD BUT THAT DIDN'T AFFECT THE VIEWING.THE DIALOGUE LINES WERE PERFECT AND FIT THE CHARACTERS AND THE OVERALL CLIMATE OF THE MOVIE.MARWIN HAMMED IS A GREAT REALLY GREAT DIRECTOR
