Escape (1988 film)

The movie begins with an artistic suggestion that the authority is not always the policeman who chases the criminal, but sometimes it becomes the criminal who tries to evade the punishment of the police.

The film "Escape" is described as the most daring in the history of Egyptian cinema, and this may have been true to a large extent, but it is not only boldness that is the secret of this film, it is also described as being the first to criticize many social and political negatives. Perhaps this was also true, as the film discusses people's pressing issues, but not precedence is the only secret of this movie. There may be earlier or more daring films, but there is no doubt that "Escape" is the most honest.^[3]
