The first half of the movie was entertaining. The visual parallel between modern ghetto and ancient citadel was very apppealing.
The drama building between the brothers is well developed until a certain point.
Indeed, the charaters are very caricatural (the good, the angry and the afraid) and the switch from good boy to mad man of one of the brothers killed the scenario for me.
It had a Game of Thrones Daenerys mad queen vibe, and i couldn't take the rest of the movie seriously.
Worth the watch for the cinematic and acting but not for the scenario.
I found the kinda similar movie "Les Misérables" better, as it was way more realistic.
