Like its security-guard-turned-swindler protagonist, director Abdulelah Alqurashi\u2019s film doesn\u2019t lack for ambition. Unlike him, it never reaches great heights before falling back to earth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Hamed\u2019s (Fahad Alqahtani) Icarus-like flight takes him from Mecca to Jeddah, where he gets a taste of the good life from afar as a security guard at an oceanfront residential building; after resigning to avoid being fired over his habit of making too much conversation, he calls in a favor from his brother-in-law and begins working at a cell center. Hamed insists he can sell anything, and does have an easy charisma about him \u2014 a smooth talker with an innate ability to win over people initially inclined to dislike him, he\u2019s also a bit of a hustler. This is a survival tactic, but it\u2019s also a sales tactic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cAlhamour H.A.\u201d is set in the early 2000s, a period that seems to be recalled more fondly in Saudi Arabia than it is in America: Hamed speaks of the era in voiceover narration as a golden age when the economy was booming and getting rich quick was the rule rather than the exception. \u201cIf you didn\u2019t become a millionaire then,\u201d he tells us in the opening minutes, \u201cyou never would.\u201d If only he\u2019d heeded Oscar Wilde\u2019s words of wisdom from \u201cLady Windermere\u2019s Fan\u201d: \u201cThere are only two tragedies in life. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Not satisfied with his take-home pay, Hamed enlists his old friend Soliman (aka Silly, played by Khaled Yeslam) to start a side hustle. After first buying and selling cell phones (anyone nostalgic for the pre-smartphone era will get a kick out of the early-2000s Nokias and Samsungs on display), he graduates to the considerably more lucrative world of prepaid phone cards. Too much is never enough, though, and soon the motley crew they\u2019ve fallen in with begin to dream bigger: \u201cThe whole idea is that we will collect money from the investors, we will get more cash and we will sell more,\u201d Hamed says via voiceover, either unaware or indifferent to the fact that he\u2019s just described a Ponzi scheme.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Much of what follows \u2014 from their recruitment of underlings to the likelihood that this meteoric rise is leading to a precipitous fall \u2014 feels like Saudi Arabia\u2019s answer to \u201cThe Wolf of Wall Street,\u201d down to the fact that \u201cAlhamour H.A.\u201d is based on a true story and Hamed earns the dubious nickname of the Shark of Cards. The problem is that there is no answer to Martin Scorsese here, and if there were, it wouldn\u2019t be Alqurashi. The ensuing debauchery is neither as drug-fueled nor as uproarious; the indictment of Hamed and his cohorts (whether moral or legal) isn\u2019t as subtle or damning. Both film and protagonist want to be something they\u2019re not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In the midst of their most heated fights, both of the women in his life insult Hamed by calling him a security guard \u2014 a cold reminder that you can rise as high as possible but you can\u2019t change your foundation. That cuts both ways in \u201cAlhamour H.A.,\u201d which might be best described as a sheep in wolf\u2019s clothing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
