    Great story

    I really enjoyed The Algerian, the acting, the directing, and the story line is solid. A great thriller with some surprises and twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. Definitely recommend it.

    great indie action!

    Was impressed with the awards this movie won in festivals and am glad I checked it out. Interesting global locations made for the backdrop of an international thriller which pose some thoughtful questions on making choices that matter for yourself. Found the main character inspiring in this regard. Well shot and especially liked the music. recommend!

    If you appreciate film, you will love this movie

    The Algerian tells an important story that even most feature films today struggle to tell. It's a controversial yet very relevant topic that we deal with everyday in the United States. Ali's struggle with his faith and his humanity is something that is very real today, and it is masterfully portrayed by Youcef and the cinematography. There is really a lot of heart and soul dedicated into this film and I believe that is reflected by the many awards it's recieved from various film festivals. I would I highly recommend The Algerian to anyone who loves and has an appreciation for quality filmmaking.

    Must See Indy Movie

    Great international spy-thriller with lots of cool locations around the U.S. and Algeria. Compelling social-political plot wrapped around a love story. Culturally relevant, especially with spread of terrorism in the world today. I see why it won so many awards, even though it's a small budget movie.

    Must See

    I saw The Algerian on the big screen but certainly intend to see it again. It is so important in these times to be reminded that people must not be smeared with the same brush. There are good and bad in every group, nationality and religion. We are all human.
