This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a fairly frantic and somewhat disorientating watch, which depicts the social unrest and anger of Egyptians at the time its set in (the Egyption coup in the early 2010s). I remember hearing about many journalists being detained at the time, the outrage it caused in the west and so on.

Film wise, the fear is quite palpable and due to the confined setting of the film, there's also the inevitable sense of claustrophobia present. Its perhaps a little unsettling how quickly the characters decide to label and categorise each other but its certainly a thought provoking watch. I suppose, to some degree, its about the psychology of being in such a situation, confined in a van with other people due to having been present at a protest. It does make you question how people are treated in such situations. There is some pretty jerky/shaky camerawork present, which may, or may not, bother you but otherwise I don't think there's much else I can say about it. I thought it was an interesting watch, a good film, not entirely memorable or great but pretty good and so I'd recommend it on that basis. Oh and perhaps also worth mentioning is that there is some blood depicted, which may make those phobic of blood queasy, so if that applies to you then it may be perhaps better to avoid this film but otherwise its good.… Expand

The movie is set after the Egypcian revolution and is very good in showing the mood and the division in the country. The best part is that it shows both sides of the conflict without tending to any. But, as a movie, or plotwise, it justThe movie is set after the Egypcian revolution and is very good in showing the mood and the division in the country. The best part is that it shows both sides of the conflict without tending to any. But, as a movie, or plotwise, it just wasn´t that good for me. Nothing really gripping or interesting happens, I just kept waiting the whole film for something more to happen, but it didn´t.

Tldr: Great as art and documentary, not so good as entertainment.… Expand
