‘Boy From Heaven’ Review: Risk-Taker Tarik Saleh Delivers a Conventional Treatment of a Daring Subject

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticElections, as everyone knows, are too important to be left up to chance, and so the world is constantly inventing ways to ensure their outcome in advance. In Egypt, when it comes to the choice of a new Grand Imam — a lifetime appointment, whose fatwas impact national law — the process doesn’t even pretend to be democratic: The successful candidate is selected from a small Supreme Council of Scholars, with considerations the outside world will never know.

‘The Contractor’: Chris Pine Is Bourne Again In This Tepid Action Thriller
