Head to Head revolves around an unlikely pair of a chauffeur and a mechanic on a dangerous mission
Netflix dropped the official trailer for Head to Head last month, giving insights into the eccentric comedy thriller that digs into the crime world and promises a hilarious viewing experience, peppered with catastrophic and life-threatening elements.
Malik Nejer's film takes place in the bizarre world of Bathaikha and follows a series of unfortunate events surrounding a clumsy chauffeur named Darwish (Adel Redwan), who unknowingly picks up a retired crime lord from the airport and is then relentlessly pursued by the gang for the safe return of the old man.
The events that follow are life-changing and catastrophic for Darwish, Abu Ghadrah (Ziyad Alamri) and Fayadh (Abdulaziz Alshehri), the new CEO of Sheikhs' chauffeur limo company. The three struggle to mislead the gang members and try to convince them that the crime lord is still alive.
The first few scenes of the trailer depict the setting for the Sheikhs' chauffeur limo company, along with the principal characters. One of them picks up a call from a mysterious someone. The call is concerning an old man they picked up from the airport. They are tasked with delivering him to Bathaikha in half an hour, in exchange for the safety of their own people.
What follows is a hilarious adventure and the two questionable partners find a way to make the situation a beneficial one.
With a high-class criminal like the "King of Diamonds" in their hands, they expect to make millions in cash. But their lives are about to turn upside down once the gang gets involved and they nearly get killed.
