Editor’s Note: A brief assessment of The Ambush (2021): This film stands out as a compelling blend of War, Action, and Drama while delivering a personal narrative. Director Pierre Morel skillfully maintains a focused storyline that emphasizes character development rather than excessive flair. The performances by Marwan Abdullah, Khalifa Al Jassem, and Mohammed Ahmed provide a grounded and authentic feel. With a runtime of 1 hour and 50 minutes, the film exhibits a steady pace, rarely lingering too long on any scene. While the reception has been mixed, it’s worth watching for its atmosphere and emotional depth. The tagline—“They will bring their brothers home by any means necessary.”—captures its essence well. If this premise resonates with you, be sure to add it to your watch list.
