Netflix has released an official trailer for Mosul, which follows an Iraqi SWAT team as they fight to defend their homes from ISIS militants. Joe and Anthony Russo produced the upcoming film, which is entirely in Arabic.
The trailer teased an action-packed true story film that hinges on how interested you are in the fight against ISIS. It’s entirely in Arabic, has no big-name star, and is being marketed on the fact the Russos produced it. It’s sort of a risk, but one Netflix loves taking. I’m certainly interested, and I may have to give it a watch later this month.
Plot Synopsis:
When ISIS took their homes, families and city, one group of men fought to take it all back. After inexperienced Iraqi cop Kawa (Adam Bessa) is rescued from a harrowing firefight by the elite Nineveh SWAT team, he’s quickly inducted into the rogue squadron, a band of ten brothers-in-arms led by the wise Major Jasem (Suhail Dabbach). Under constant threat of attack, the unit embarks on a dangerous guerrilla operation, determined to wipe out an enemy base and restore order to the lawless territory. An extraordinary true story of heroism in the face of overwhelming odds, MOSUL is written and directed by Matthew Michael Carnahan and produced by Anthony and Joe Russo.
Mosul begins streaming November 26, 2020 on Netflix.
