Way too stiff upper lips

The movie seems - to a foreigner - like a parody of British cool. The plot revolves around a couple of anti-narc Egyptian police officers, played by British actors Portman and Harvey with unlikely stiff upper lips.

The two are cold and emotionless to the point of grotesque. Harvey is especially bad as a junior officer messing up a major operation against narcotic smugglers.

It's a decent plot, set in motion by the murder of a businessman, associated with the smugglers, two brothers one of which jailed and about to get released. Unfortunately, the pace is incredibly slow and lacking any tense or suspenseful moment.

The scene with the camel troops is an additional oddity, even if it is supposed to celebrate the work of the Egyptian police.
