My Brother the Devil
(2012)
Written and Directed
by Sally El Hosaini this film stars James Floyd, Fady Elsayed and
Said Taghmaoui. The younger son of a family of Egyptian immigrants in
London looks to emulate his older brother and become involved in the
criminal life.
Despite being pretty
well made in all areas this is a fairly average entry into a crowded
genre of coming of age stories told against the background of low
level crime. About the only unusual element here is the inclusion of
a gay story line but while unusual is not exactly ground breaking.
Most of the direction and acting is good but like the rest of the
film it is solid rather than impressive.
3/5
