Mosul is the directorial debut of Matthew Michael Carnahan, brother of director Joe Carnahan and the writer of 21 Bridges and World War Z, and is produced by the Marvel Cinematic Universe's powerhouse duo of writer/director brothers, Joe and Anthony Russo.
Inspired by this article in The New Yorker, the film debuted to strong reactions at the 2019 Venice Film Festival and it's particularly great to see veteran Iraqi actor Suhail Dabbach (The Hurt Locker) playing the commander of the SWAT team, bringing a calm but foreboding presence his hero needs to take on ISIS.
This unmissable action-packed drama is in Arabic with English subtitles, the right way to tell this amazing story, and as director Bong Joon-ho brilliantly said at the Golden Globes earlier this year – yes, that was THIS year – "Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films."
Mosul is out on Netflix on 26 November, check out the trailer below...
