Mafia, an Egyptian movie ambitious enough to be rated with Hollywood productions. A movie covering different aspects of the current political situations around the world, with an outstanding mirror image to reality. The story has a major emphasis on nationalism as an ideology.  

 

Ahmed Al-Saka (playing the role of Hussein Amin) has been put in the precarious situation of having to choose between loyalty to his country and joining an anti-Egypt group. Hussein, who’s been living abroad for sometime, through which his national identity has been wavered. Convinced to join a terrorist group, for which he agrees to fly back to Egypt to accomplish the mark setout. Wheels turn as patriotism for his nation intensifies, as he turns his back on the terrorist group. A must see movie, where suspense and action take part in this exceptionally directed movie. 

 

Ahamd Al-Saka graduated from theater school in 1993, playing a minor role in prior movies and soap operas released during his early years. Starring in his first feature hit movie Mafia he certainly accomplished a job well done.
