“A world-class neo-noir thriller” (Variety), Rattle the Cage may be the first genre movie of its sort ever produced in the United Arab Emirates. The scene is a prison cell in a remote police station, where a man named Talal is tortured by visions of his beloved ex-wife and son as he waits to learn his fate. When a police officer from a nearby town stops by, Talal helplessly watches the visit turn into a bloodbath. But being behind bars is clearly the least of his problems, as he finds that he’s a pawn in the villain’s game. It’s a breathtakingly suspenseful and thrilling ride.
