This epic story of a young prince who becomes involved in the fight for control of oil is an epic focused on a moment in history where control over oil has generated a political and cultural conflict in the Arab lands. The film offers a fascinating story, but it is difficult to take with emotion due to the tedious pace of the script. It is a very well produced film with good direction and good actors. What is conflicting is the way the script was executed because there are some things that are not completely clear and become incomprehensible. Even Auda's decision to command his father's army is not entirely clear. Even with respect to the tribes that are uniting, it is clear that it was necessary to mention their connection with the kingdoms of the emir and the sultan. There is a lot that needed to be clarified or mentioned, causing this film to raise a couple of questions. What is fascinating is the question of how the oil industry has had an effect on the politics and culture of the Arab lands and that is something that could have been explored further. Or Noir is undoubtedly a film with a great epic story, but with a bitter taste. My final rating for this movie is a 7/10.
