RUN, OMAR, RUN!


Another war torn story comes from the Middle East in the form of indie flick about the problems that young Palestinian Omar endures on his way towards normal private life and loyalty to his people in the fight for liberation from the Israeli oppression.

Although fundamentally naïve in its basic concept, ”Omar” offers some good dilemmas and closed loop consequences of the choices made by its main protagonist (talented Adam Bakri). These lead to some spectacular chases around the old city walls, which are the best action sequences in the entire movie.

Above mentioned is something that can be found in many movies with the similar subject. The thing that separates ”Omar” from the rest of the politically and socially engaged scripts is its very end. Brutal and surprising, it will raise the entire rating by a notch or two.

Omar” is something already seen, but with a powerful ending worth waiting.
