Cairo police detective Noredin Mustafa is an ordinary corrupt cop. He's handed the case of a singer found murdered in a Nile Hilton hotel room and soon discovers the dead woman's secret relationship with the hotel owner a wealthy developer and member of parliament. While searching for the only witness, an undocumented Sudanese maid, he's abruptly ordered to close the case. But Noredin continues, and the investigation leads to an "untouchable" elite who runs the country, immune from justice. (Sundance Film Festival)

It definitely has the right, dark street atmosphere, along with quite good capturing of the environment and time, which isn't that distant, but above all, Fares Fares shows how great of an actor he is and that he belongs to the most interesting ones that non-English speaking Europe currently has available.
