film Bad Guy [al-fata al-sherrir] starring Nour El-Sherif

resemblance to Miami and Nour El-Sherif, great as he is, is no Al
Pacino. However it roughly follows the original story
line, consisting of a series of loosely connected bitter
disputes and violent clashes culminating in a mass armed assault on
a sumptuous mansion. In this narrative Salah [Nour El-Sherif] is
given a seven-year prison sentence for manslaughter. In prison he
meets Said [Ali al-Hagar] and a strong friendship grows between them.
When Salah gets out of prison he cannot find a job so he takes up
dealing in currency for a trader. He gains the trader's confidence
and becomes wealthy while working for him. Salah discovers that his
girlfriend Elham [Noura], for whom he has been searching since his
release from prison, has married Zohdi [Mohamed El Dafrawy], an
important crime boss. He fights with Zohdi over Elham. Said tries to
convince Salah to give up the life of crime and stops working with
him. Zohdi's gang fails in its attempt to kill Salah and its members
are all arrested. Salah marries Elham after her divorce from the
arrested Zohdi. She also tries unsuccessfully to convince Salah to
give up his life of crime. Members of Zohdi's gang raid the home of
Salah and Said; Salah defeats them, Said is injured and Salah
continues his criminal activity.
