Omar Habbak

Omar Habbak, yeah, that guy’s been bouncing around the indie film scene for a minute. He’s probably best known for his work in “Lifeline” (2025), which, honestly, feels like a wild mix between sci-fi and straight-up human drama. People talk about the techy twists, but it’s really the emotional gut-punches that land. The whole thing spins around this guy stuck between two realities, trying to hold onto his sense of self while the world around him gets weirder by the minute. Habbak’s performance? Not exactly subtle, but somehow it works. You kind of root for him, even when he’s making dumb decisions. Back in “The Compass” (2015), Habbak played a totally different vibe—a dude searching for meaning, wandering through landscapes that seem both real and metaphorical. Some critics called it pretentious, but hey, not every movie has to spoon-feed you. The visuals kind of stick in your head, and there’s this low-key tension simmering under the surface. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re into existential stuff, it’s worth a shot. Then there’s “The New Guy” (2018), where he dials it down and goes for more of a comedic, everyman role. Think awkward encounters, weird office politics, and that feeling like you’re always two steps behind everyone else. Habbak nails the awkward charm, making it easy to cringe and laugh in equal measure. Altogether, his filmography? All over the place, but that’s what keeps things interesting.
