Review of Captain Abu Raed (2008) by Jim F — 13 May 2015

This is story of "Abu Raed" a Jordanian Janotor who works at the airport. One day he found an pioits hat in the trash, and it changed his world. He wore and the kids in his neighbor hood treated him like trolley. He told them stories, they trusted him, and then the older kids ruined everything. Abu Raed loves people, in a way that is nearly unknown in film, particularly film that doens't have some sort of religious undertone. He's a smart man,who understands literature, economics, and world politics, who just ended where he did because of life.

This film had everythign. Cute kids, funny old men. A love story, of sorts. Action/adventure. Produced an emotional response. Had enough predictability to make you feel comfortable, but just enough turn from predictability to make it entertaining and not boring. I highly recommend.
