I agree that the plot of this movie is very poor and and it was boring.
I was really disappointed and felt offended with how Egypt was pictured on the movie. There was not any touch with reality apart from the taxi colors. I still do not get why the movie makers insist to show deserts and camels in Giza and Cairo in 1984. And why Egyptian are wearing these clothes. 99% of the Hollywood films are just revolving in a disgusting stereotype. Such a shame.
