The CinePearl Take
Karim El‑Sobky’s debut is a masterclass in atmosphere, using cramped alleyways and neon‑washed nightscapes to mirror the protagonist’s claustrophobic desperation. The lead—an unknown talent—delivers a quietly magnetic performance that anchors the film’s bleak narrative. While the middle act lingers a bit too long, the relentless pacing picks up for a harrowing climax that stays with you long after the credits roll.
