Critic Reviews for The Nile Hilton Incident
All Critics (44) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (39) | Rotten (5)
The evocation of that old film noir feeling is hugely effective here: Dad telling his freshly-bribed son "You can't buy dignity," the fantastic slow zoom on a love scene reflected in a two-way mirror, even the beguiling torch singer.
As doomed as Noredin's actions often seem, they're tinged with enough simmering humanity to keep us caring.
It's possible to admire each scene and still see this film, in its entirety, as in need of some serious sharpening.
You can feel the Middle Eastern country's impending wave of frustration, corruption, and paranoia simmering underneath every scene in the film like white noise in the background.
Sadly, the movie ends up playing out like an unmemorable Law & Order episode.
A political thriller based on a true story, but it needs the real life context to give it some energy (usually, it's the other way around).
