Isa B The Arab Michael Corleone. This was a fantastic film. I thoroughly enjoyed it for it's brilliant acting, precise direction and beautifully gritty camera work. This was a well written story with many twists and turns. A Prophet is first class cinema! I love it and I highly recommend you check it out! 95/100 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review nilufer e It was a classic mob / prison movie but what made it special was Tahar Rahim's amazing performance and being in French. It was kind of too long though. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Obada Z A movie where your eyes are set on the screen for the complete 2 and half hour runtime. I definitely liked the smooth transition - in terms of storytelling - of Malik, from an abused prisoner and a tool in the hands of a prison mob to a mob leader of his own. The movie made me sometimes guess what is happening but in the end the outcome was expected and presented well. I like characters that pick up skill during their struggle. Malik shows how in such harsh reality, you've got to become what that reality is asking of you. Taher's acting was effective and convincing. Some of the camera's work was strange e.g. when only a circle of the screen can be seen and the rest is blacked-out. In such type of movies, I always find myself asking this question: How does the star - in this case Tahar - feels about portraying such character with such background and story? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review TrueBlueReview I This is perhaps the pinnacle of realist gangster filmmaking, coupled with Matteo Garrone's "Gomorrah." In all honestly it's redeeming to see films like these. Realism, sometimes hyper realism, and serious direction… as fun as "Donnie Brasco" is, the weighted tragedy is just not always there, and the redemption cannot be taken seriously with understanding the gravitas of the tragic nature. Show us a real story with believable characters, and show us how (or if) they remain human. A Prophet does just that in a way unlike most films, let anyone gangster films, I have seen. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Pilar P "A Prophet" is an exceptional film that has earned its place among my top 10 favorite movies. The transformation of the main character throughout the narrative is nothing short of phenomenal. Witnessing his journey from a lonely, isolated individual to a formidable leader within the prison walls, all through his intelligence and tactical prowess, is truly captivating. The film skillfully explores the complexities of the prison environment, where survival often demands cunning and adaptability. The central character's ascent from his initial act of violence is both riveting and, at times, profoundly sad. It's a testament to the film's ability to draw viewers into a world filled with harsh realities and moral ambiguities. In "A Prophet," we are presented with a character who must navigate a treacherous path, and his evolution is a testament to his resilience and resourcefulness. This movie left me in awe of its storytelling and the depth of character development, making it a truly memorable cinematic experience. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/23 Full Review hamid reza g "A Prophet" is a film that must be seen and enjoyed. An impressive and unique drama from "Jacques Audiard", a respected contemporary French director who has gained a high position for himself with this film. The movie "A Prophet" is a lasting movie with no expiration date. The sequence of killing "Rib" is a masterpiece and unmatched. "Tahar Rahim's" performance in the role of "Malik Al Jabna" is unique and deserved to receive the best actor Caesar, but the other masterpiece of the film belongs to "Niels Arstrup" in the role of "Cesar Luciani". A subtle and powerful game that cannot be found in the current cinema. It shows such power, strength and decline that you will be amazed. This film tells the story of the impact of the environment and society on the occurrence of violence and the rise to power of a cowardly youth. French contemporary cinema is respected and praised, and the south of France plays an effective role in French contemporary cinema. The island of Corsica is in the south of France, and the film's reference to "Corsicans" refers to the Italians living on that island.
