          Adorable...

          A sad beginning, I thought I was going to use the family tragic drama, but got tangled with mastery by an action policeman, with traffic, white collar crime and teenage passion and a poor young hero and his best friend and faithful squire... And he still has that plot twist that we love, convenient and cute, that we love... However, the kidnapper deserved a punishment... Adorable...

          Weak heart

          This tries very hard to be clever ... most viewers will not fall for it or rather really have a good time watching it. If you are one of the exceptions, than good for you. The movie is quite predictable overall and the beginning which mirrors a part of the end is supposed to keep you on the edge of your seat.

          Unfortunately it does not succeed in that and the story moves along too slow in general. For some it may feel a bit too harsh, others may feel that my rating is still too good. Action scenes are decent though overall and I have seen worse movies in general, so there goes that

          Action packed thriller from Egypt

          That's not so usual to watch a film for Egypt. I agree that film is very action packed and not always for the sissies, good action sequences but ankward, if you watch close enough. I will forget it vey quickly. ut it was good try anyway.

          Underrated

          This is a very enjoyable movie for action movie fans, it has some familiar gangster tropes that works well in this film, the acting was great, the ancient Egyptian background was used perfectly, as an American I've become fond of Netflix's international library of films, Lion's Heart(english title) moves at a decent pace with just enough flashbacks for character development, looking for some international flavor for your "GANSTAH" dish? give this a try...
