Al-irhabi (1994)
1/10
One of the worst films ever ...
15 July 2001
This is one of the worst films you can ever see. Adil Imam was at the bottom of his career, and this is his way of trying to come to the top.

The sixty year old actor goes with the wave in critisizing the Islamic Extremists, in the hope that it will save his career. In the movie, he plays a very young extremist and tries to portray the thoughts that lead him to change his evil ways. Although, I personally do not endorse extremism in any walk of life, I still did not find it an accurate portrayal of the character.

The way that the character is portrayed is not realistic. From the start you can see that this character cannot be real. A young man, who looks like he is sixty year old, and who is not married, unlike real-life extremists who are probably married by the age of 14, and who is continously thinking about sex. This is absoloutly unreal.

In my humble opinion, Adil Imam who was for years one of the best Arabic comedy actors, should have stayed with comedy and left drama and serious movies to actors that are younger and more capable.

Bad movie, Bad actor, Bad evrything really.
