Saboba

About This Movie

So, 'Saboba' is a 2012 film from Peter Mimi, and honestly, it's a tough watch. It feels like a haphazard attempt at crime drama, completely lifting elements from 'Reservoir Dogs'—like, seriously, the plot, dialogue, everything. The pacing is all over the place, which detracts from any potential tension the film might have had. The atmosphere tries to be gritty but ends up feeling just derivative. Performances are a mixed bag; some actors seem to grasp the vibe, while others just flounder. It's not just the copying that irks; it’s how it feels like a lack of originality robbed us of something potentially unique in Egyptian cinema. A disappointing flick, to say the least.
