Over deze film

Based on a true story, Sundance Award winner THE NILE HILTON INCIDENT is a political crime thriller that plays “like an Arabic riff on Chinatown or L.A. Confidential” (Entertainment Weekly). Weeks before the 2011 Egyptian revolution, Noredin, a police officer in Cairo’s corrupt system, investigates the murder of a famous club singer at the Nile Hilton Hotel. What initially seems to be a crime of passion turns into something that concerns the very power elite of Egypt. Upon realizing this, Noredin decides to break the rules in order to obtain justice, colliding not only with the system but also with himself.

I'm not sure how it got such high marks by other viewers. It's a good story and a good film but it's not all that fantastic.

Good story, good natural acting and during an interesting era in middle eastern politics.

Excellent movie, well worth watching, exposes the corruption that led to the 2011 revolution in Egypt.
