Review of A Hologram for the King (2016) by Jeff F — 23 May 2016

I went to see the movie for 2 reasons 1. Tom hanks 2. I wanted to know how they gonna represent Saudi Arabia.

And I was disappointed.

The story and the pace of the movie not that good.

And they completely misrepresented saudi arabia.

I was born and raised there and what they showed is not true at all.

They only showed an extremely rare part of the population and culture.

-----.

the story about a middle age man sent to saudi to negotiate a deal to have the IT contract for the new economic metropolis.

SPOILER (dont read if u still haven't seen the movie ).

The only thing I got from the movie is the irony that the same american company that let go of thousands of their worker and started to use Chinese worker to save money.

They lost the contract with the Saudis to a Chinese company.

(Karma).
