Friggin annoyed about the screening time for this last year. It was shown at the exact same 2 weeks that the Sydney Film Festival was on. I had seen an ad for it on a train station for upcoming films on cable channel World Movies & it looked pretty amazing for an Arabic film. All Hollywood action style ala car chases, etc... Was crazy. So I missed it at the cinema & I don't have cable at home.

Synopsis
This Egyptian action film is about Tito (Ahmad Al Saqa), who was sentenced to 16 years in jail after a burglary when he was a kid. After he gets out, he goes back to crime with a corrupt police officer, but also befriends Fares (Amr Waked), and the two open up a unique restaurant. Fares introduces Tito to Nour (Hanan Turk), a physician, and they fall in love, and Tito is trying to leave his life of crime.
