Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
ahmadsayed-52652 I got why a lot the reviewer mention no idea, but it need some Arabian, culture to get it, the movie start with a warning from a people called black-flags , in arabian prophecies black flag is a group will show up at the end of days, some people will think them good other will think of them as evilthe plot using unfortunately very vivid symbols, by picking character names same as prophets name Aisa = Jesus, Mariam = Marry, Dawood = David The idea as per my understanding that the prophet appears at the end of era to correct the path of humanity, but the followers came after and twist their teaching to become racist The symbol are vivid but the writer choose them carefully, following the historical and arabian interpretation to the Holly booksSo westerns may miss the idea, overall the movie could be much better, but it is "Worthy ;) "
Osama Arafat This is one of the worst movies I have ever watched as the movie has no story, and the actors performance was really awful in fact they were all fresh actors with no experience and it was extremely boring. The movie was entertaining at all and was time wasting. I do not recommend anyone to watch this movie as they will be wasting their money.
hala-82505 If you avoided seeing ISIS videos on internet, you will be forced to see it all in this movie. It has collected all the disgusting ways of killing in less than 100 minutes. And for no clear objective. All the main characters are named after prophets. Very brutal ways of murdering, the director meant to have some projections on reality but the ideas are all missed out, you never know what he is indicating for and why. It should be +35 and with warning: not for the faint-hearted. The effects are good at some areas of the movies but so funny at other areas example: when Mussa is shot. I would love to give it good review but really it disappointed me ad all my friends. It would be good if the new movies could talk to the minds rather than senses and emotions
euroGary "Don't forget the standing ovation" joked director Ali F Mostafa as he introduced the world premiere of his film 'The Worthy' at the 2016 London Film Festival. He may not have received that, but there was definitely warm applause from the audience at the end of his dystopian thriller.You've seen the basic plot in countless other films: a group of people hiding from the horrors of the outside world are picked off, one-by-one, by a hidden enemy. What makes this film different is it is from the United Arab Emirates: this reviewer tends to think of Arab films as mostly featuring villagers fretting about dried-up wells or similar - in short, unlikely to appeal to Western audiences outside of the filmsnob festival circuit. But the Saturday night multiplex crowd would find much to enjoy in this offering.The film is very atmospheric: the survivors are holed-up in a derelict aircraft factory, which provides a pleasingly grim backdrop to the action. There are some inventive fatalities (death by water tower!) and the stock characters are all present and correct: handsome hero, feisty female, creepy bald loner... it is also nice to see Arab women given action heroine roles.On a deeper level this works as a read-across to the real-life Middle East's experiences with the Taliban, Daesh, etc: self-important factions fight it out while ordinary citizens are caught in the middle. But it is also a thrill-a-minute ride with a good explanation for why the attackers do what they do: as the final survivor strides off into the sunset, I could not help but hope their story is continued in a sequel.
