Directed as a cross between documentary and fiction with  inserts from news and interviews the film is a violent suspenseful thriller and would be the first of its kind in the Middle East.   The movie is a revolution in Arabic cinema as it was shot both in Arabic and in English enabling it to be marketed to an International Audience/Market as well as the Middle East.
