Synopsis

Egypt's most adored actor, George Fahmy, falls into disgrace with the authorities overnight. On the verge of losing everything, George is forced to accept an offer he can't refuse.
Moviegoers are saying
Tarik Saleh's political thriller about an actor trapped in Egyptian propaganda filmmaking divides audiences with its ambitious premise but uneven execution. While some viewers appreciate its political thriller elements and find themselves genuinely engaged, most struggle with its tonal inconsistencies and generic streaming aesthetic that fails to live up to Saleh's previous work.

Eagles of the Republic's greatest strength lies in Fares Fares, who is all too convincing as a superstar actor in Egypt, striking a delicate balance between his comedic scenes and dramatic ones

This is a compelling, cleverly constructed comedy-thriller with plenty on its mind. It satirizes the movie industry and authoritarianism while never pushing the comedy into outright farce. And it isn’t afraid to get real when necessary.
