Abdellatif Lebkiri

Abdellatif Lebkiri—yeah, that guy—he’s the one you’ll spot in Hounds (2023), a gritty, punch-you-in-the-gut kind of film that doesn’t care about sugarcoating life. Set in the underbelly of Casablanca, the story drags you into the world of impoverished couriers hustling to make ends meet while dodging trouble at every turn. It’s not some glamorous crime caper; it’s raw, messy, and totally unfiltered. The characters? They’re sharp and flawed, chasing small victories in a city that barely notices them. You’ll watch as the main duo gets tangled up in a favor gone sideways—what starts as a quick gig spirals into a high-stakes mess involving loan sharks, desperate families, and a whole lot of swearing in the cramped alleyways and faded apartments of the city. The tension never really lets up; every corner’s got a new problem waiting for them, and honestly, you’re never sure if they’ll make it out in one piece. Lebkiri’s performance? He nails that world-weary vibe—like he’s seen it all but still gets shocked when things go sideways. There’s grit, heartbreak, and this weird flicker of hope that refuses to die, even when it really should. The film pulls you in, chews you up, and spits you out, leaving you thinking about those last few scenes way after the credits roll. If you’re into movies that actually feel real, this one hits hard.
