Curse of Money

About This Movie

Curse of Money (1987) has this gritty vibe, you know? Al-Qarnafli, played by Hussein Al-Sherbini, really embodies this underworld character who leads a safe-cracking gang. The pacing is steady, building this tension as he pulls off heist after heist, only to face the inevitable heat from the police. The film captures that raw, street-level atmosphere, and you can feel the tension in every scene. Performances are layered, with a mix of camaraderie and betrayal amongst the gang members. It’s distinctively gritty, a snapshot of a bygone era in crime cinema that doesn’t shy away from the harsher realities of the criminal world. Definitely worth a look if you appreciate that blend of heist thrills and character-driven storytelling.

Curse of Money has seen limited releases over the years, making original tapes somewhat rare. Collectors often discuss its underground appeal and unique portrayal of heist culture in 80s cinema. There’s a niche interest in the film, particularly among those who appreciate lesser-known crime dramas, which adds to its allure in collector circles.
