Tom’n dastet Ashrar- 1/8 دستة أشرار

Review by Chirine Yamout

The Short:

Story of a mob of four to steal money from a safe from a hotel room that’ll make you laugh, cry and slightly confused.

The Long:

When a conman that goes by the name of Mayo, who schemes people alongside his gang, decides to quits; he is taught a tough lesson after getting a taste of his own medicine, and becoming a victim of his own wrongdoings. He is then offered a job by a mob boss to steal money from a safe in a hotel room as a final mission, to be given full freedom. Yet, his freedom doesn’t come so easily, as there’s a catch. Starring Yasmine Abdel Aziz, one of the best Egyptian actresses, this movie is one of many that showcase her brilliant sense of humor, and talent.

To watch or not to watch:

A personal all time favorite, a guarantee to make you laugh at each turn. I have seen this movie at least 13 times and will gladly see it again as if it’s my first time watching it each time, I highly recommend it.
