This film, translated as Night Courier for English-speaking audiences, is a satirical dark comedy about a delivery driver who gets involved in alcohol bootlegging.
Rising-star director Ali Kalthami's film offers a glimpse of Riyadh in transition, showcasing modernity alongside the struggles of Fahad, a character caught in the past.
Aldokhei's performance as Fahad captures the essence of delusional masculinity, reminiscent of Robert De Niro's Travis Bickle and Jake Gyllenhaal's Lou Bloom.
While the film may lack tension as a thriller, it compellingly portrays a toxic man chasing his dreams amidst the modernizing backdrop of Riyadh.
