The Ruthless

About This Movie

So, 'The Ruthless' from 1992 is one of those films that dives deep into the gritty side of the drug trade, set against the backdrop of Alexandria. The pacing is pretty intense; you feel the tension building between the brothers as Hammam pulls Khamis deeper into the underworld. The sister Fatima adds an interesting dynamic, embodying the moral conflict that runs through the film. It’s raw, and you can tell they relied on practical effects for a lot of the action scenes, which lend a certain authenticity. Performances are solid, especially from the brothers, whose chemistry showcases both loyalty and betrayal. It's a unique take on crime drama, not your typical Hollywood fare, that's for sure.
