Featured review
Poorly made
The movie was not shot in Lebanon and the scenes of Beirut hotels were unrealistic. Slap a sign on the front of a facade to make it look like a Beirut hotel was laughable. Very few of the scenery resemble Beirut scenery. Even the license plates on cars were not always accurate. This work resembles a low budget movie.
