    Best Egyptian action movie ever made !!

    I went to see this movie 3 times, and i gotta tell you; it was breathtaking, the acting, the direction, the script and all the cast was marvelous in this film. I am a huge fan of Sheriff Arafa's works he's my favorite director but i was a little disappointed by his work lately for the last 7 years, u know he made some pointless comedy movies and ended it up with the big disappointment 7ALIM, but now he made it up for his fans with this masterpiece, he truly made us live the movie entirely. Ahmed El Sakka is known as one of the best actors of his generation, but after this performance i can say that he owns them all. I highly recommend this movie to u all, YOU WILL NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

    It's really good

    yesterday i watched the movie, it was pretty good, almost 150 minutes long and i guess u'll never get bored, very fast actions, don't expect what's gonna happen because it'll not. I believed that there are some of these people live around, and how does the government deal with those people, Very powerful criminals who have there own judgment and there own rules, anyway, i hope you'll enjoy the crime-action-drama movie which is very well produced and directed and for the first time i can see Elsakka acting very well. my only comment about the dressings of Hend Sabry, it looks Scottish rather than Saeedy!! my only comment about the dressings of Hend Sabry, it looks Scottish rather than Saeedy!!

    A Cinematic Triumph that Leaves Audiences Breathless

    I just had the pleasure of watching the movie El-Gezirah, and let me tell you, it exceeded all my expectations! I was so captivated by this film that I ended up watching it not once, not twice, but three times! It truly left me breathless.

    First and foremost, the acting in this movie was absolutely phenomenal. Every single member of the cast delivered outstanding performances that were both convincing and emotionally charged. It's rare to find a film where every actor shines so brightly, but El-Gezirah managed to accomplish just that.

    The direction by Sheriff Arafa was nothing short of brilliant. As a fan of Arafa's previous works, I must admit that I was a bit disappointed with his recent comedic ventures. However, with El-Gezirah, he has proven once again why he is one of the most talented directors of our time. The way he crafted each scene, paying attention to even the smallest details, was truly remarkable. Arafa managed to create a world that felt real and immersive, making me feel as though I was a part of the story.

    Now, let's talk about the script. It was simply outstanding. The storyline was gripping and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire film. The dialogue was sharp, witty, and thought-provoking. The way the characters interacted with each other felt authentic and added depth to the narrative. I was completely engrossed in the story from start to finish.

    And of course, I cannot forget to mention Ahmed El Sakka's performance. He has always been recognized as one of the best actors of his generation, but after watching him in El-Gezirah, I can confidently say that he surpasses them all. His portrayal of the character was raw, intense, and emotionally charged. El Sakka truly brought the character to life, making me feel every emotion he experienced on screen. He is a force to be reckoned with, and I cannot wait to see what he does next.

    In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend El-Gezirah to everyone. Whether you're a fan of action-packed thrillers or thought-provoking dramas, this movie has something for everyone. You will not be disappointed. From the incredible acting to the masterful direction and captivating script, El-Gezirah is a true masterpiece. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience this cinematic gem. Trust me, you won't regret it!
