It’s not my kind of movie but it’s worth a watch. A claustrophobic tale of crime and corruption in Cairo.

This is quite a tense and claustrophobic watch. Its the sort of film which makes you wonder what people motivations may be, or have been and it keeps you guessing. Its understandably rather grim and gritty and is a worthwhile watch overall.

Exceptional cast and a trueful story of corruption endemic in most societies.

Egyptian "Chinatown." Polanski couldn't have done it better. Superb direction, acting, writing.

Atmosphere and crude reality of the enviornment are well achieved, although plot results not very clear. As a good film noir, works as a mirror of a particular society.

sisi politik negara-negara arab emang kacau yah, dan semua negara yah pasti ada aja aparat yang korup gampang kemakan duit. tapi ini semua bukan soal itu, di film ini kaya film detektif tapi beda aja.

Nice to have a glimpse of the city of Cairo.

The best Egyptian movie I have ever seen

Les amateurs de "polar" seront très surement ravis par rapport à The Nile Hilton Incident même s'il n'est pas forcément original. L'ambiance choisie du moyen-orient est également réussie.

Not as expected Poor film actors Somewhat unrealistic Good effort

Terrific film ! Must see

Brilliant! Must see. A multi layered and subtle portrayal of a police state, from the micro to macro level of impunity. Some wonderful performances. Gut wrenching. Brilliantly woven into the building revolution. A really important film. Loved it.

Solid neo-noir mystery.

With deft filmmaking channeling the likes of Polanski and Melville, Tarik Saleh offers a neo noir like no other in a long, long time. Set against the days leading up to the Arab Spring, The Nile Hilton Incident tackles local and government corruption in a lawless country, where morals are sparse and the bribes aplenty. Our protagonist, Noredin Mostafa (Fares Fares in a great role), is the perfect embodiment of the business as usual mentality permeating through law enforcement, and it takes only a couple of minutes to understand that his comeuppance is all but inevitable. Audiences are left wondering just how long can Noredin keep the investigation going before getting killed. The pressure builds beautifully to the Egyptian Revolution, which feels like both a release and, in vein of the best noirs, a daunting twist of fate. Despite the consistent and inescapable sense of doom, the story moves at a brisk pace, and the intrigue is expertly interweaved with politics to stunning effect.

Intense and compelling as both a mystery and a snapshot into Cairo in a critical moment of history. The performances are realistic and authentic

Movie is made solid - interesting storyboard close to real incident. Solid actors and settings for a lower budget production
