In the bustling heart of Dakar, Senegal, two white Americans wake to a nightmare: bombs strapped to their chests, and they only have ten hours before they explode. With no idea who’s behind it, their only hope for survival is to listen to the instructions of a mysterious voice on the phone, forcing them to complete a series of bizarre and perilous tasks across the city. As they race against time in this twisted scavenger hunt, the vibrant streets of Dakar become a high-stakes labyrinth of survival. Darkly thrilling and filled with unexpected political commentary on colonialism and African society, this tense and exciting pulse-pounding thriller keeps you guessing until the very last second—because in this world, every move counts.
Other movies
GIANT
Director: Rowan Athale
Rowan Athale directs this inspiring true story of legendary British-Yemeni boxing champion 'Prince' Naseem Hamed (Amir El-Masry) and his relationship with Irish boxing trainer Brendan Ingle (Pierce Brosnan). Giant charts Naseem’s rags-to-riches underdog tale from his humble beginnings in Sheffield to becoming featherweight champion of the world. With his dominance of the sport, Naseem faced down the racism and islamophobia that swept Britain in the 1980s and '90s and Giant explores the unlikely and tender relationship between Naseem and Ingle, as well as the instrumental role that Ingle played on the boxer’s road to success.
SAIPAN
Director: Lisa Barros D'sa
The tensions surrounding Ireland's 2002 FIFA World Cup bid are universal to any country that has dared to hope for footballing glory. Add Roy Keane's unique personality to the mix and you have an exciting, funny, tense drama, superbly performed by the double act of Steve Coogan as Ireland’s shambling manager Mick McCarthy and newcomer Éanna Hardwicke as the Manchester United force of nature that is Keane. This is no underdog story — it would take a braver person than McCarthy to call the eternally prickly Keane that — but directors Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn have fashioned a crowd-pleasing double-act nonetheless. Tip: watch out for a cameo from the Saudi Arabia team.
