Look out for Fares Fares

This is a complex mystery noir set in the Cairo of the 2011 rebellion and it's narrow fusty back streets. The story is based on a true one of a female singer who get murdered. She had been selling herself on a part time basis.

Detective Noredin takes his life in his hands searching the sleazy viciousness of the city. He's played by the Lebanese Fares Fares. He's got all the screen presence of the noir tough guys of the classic era. I'll look out for more of his movies.

This got hidden away in the early morning hours of our Channel 4. I recommend noir fans to search this one out.
