El Ott (2014)

El Ott "The Cat" - Amazing Film, if you liked Taken you will love El Ott
27 November 2014
I'm still under the influence of this movie! I went to this movie, knowing that one of the Actors and the Director were both from Egypt, and since I've seen some not-so-impressive movies from Egypt, i was really skeptical.

BUT this one proved to be a great action movie. The best movie to compare it to is Taken, but this is much deeper. The idea is somewhat the same (lots of action, shots, flying bullets etc). But the level of realism, the motivation of the character, the cold blood which moves him on makes this flick a good option to choose when selecting a movie.

Amir Waked does a great performance, perfectly interpreting his role of a gangster father looking for justice.

The movie covers a hot topic too, kidnapping children and young women to force them to prostitute, marriage or worse, unwilling organ donation, and all the business this involves. You get to see the kind of people are supporting these arrangements and what it takes for the victims to be there and how difficult is to get them out.
