The Criminal, is a 1978 Egyptian movie, directed by Salah Abu Seif, and starring Shams El-Barudy, Hassan Youssef, Mohamed Awad. with a runtime of 100 minutes.
The Criminal is an Egyptian drama that exposes the dark depths of human greed and betrayal. Monier systematically exploits the naivety of his trusting friend Zaghloul, plundering his family's financial resources to feed a gambling addiction. When the money runs dry, Monier's desperation crosses into murder — he throws Zaghloul into the Nile and feigns helplessness as he drowns. A chilling psychological drama about a predator hiding behind the mask of friendship, The Criminal asks how well we truly know those closest to us, and how far a person can fall when greed overrides conscience.
