Justified Betrayal, is a 2006 Egyptian movie, directed by Khaled Youssef, and starring Hani Salama, Hesham Selim, Mai Ezz ElDein. with a runtime of 117 minutes.
Justified Betrayal is an Egyptian thriller from director Khalid Youssef, starring Hani Salama as a wealthy young man who shoots and kills his wife and brother after discovering them together. Though he evades justice, the film does not simply recount the crime — it reconstructs it through shifting perspectives drawn from Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon, moving between the protagonist's account, that of his mistress, and a police detective's investigation. The central tension is whether the double killing was an impulsive act of passion or a carefully premeditated plan. With unconventional storytelling and morally complex characters, Justified Betrayal is a smart, demanding thriller that keeps the audience actively assembling the truth from incomplete and contradictory testimony.
