AJAMI is overrated by a mile; the multiple "10" ratings are just plain silly.
This is a halfway decent and halfway interesting movie about wise guy youths and their lame efforts to enter the drug trade in order to finance their mother's bone marrow transplant. Gag me with the 10's. There's lots of yelling about a Christian girl who wants to marry an Arab guy, but way short of murder.
The Mideast setting adds a lot of interest to an otherwise mediocre film; but if you never see this one it won't matter. For those taken in by artistic pretense.
