Alexander Siddig played the romantic lead in Ruba Nadda’s Cairo Time, falling in love in the streets of Egypt. In Inescapable, Nadda’s latest film, the Sudanese-born British actor is again the star, but this time he’s an action hero.
Siddig plays Adib, a Syrian-Canadian businessman who is forced to return to the homeland that he fled when his daughter goes missing in Damascus. An ex-Syrian operative, he seeks help from the former fiancée he left behind (Marisa Tomei) and a shifty Canadian embassy official (Joshua Jackson).
“Cairo Time was about a love affair. This is the same love affair but it’s been tortured, squeezed and bent out of shape. There’s a problem in this country and Marisa’s character, Fatima, has been abandoned,” Siddig, 46, says in a recent interview to promote the film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival ahead of its release Sept. 14.
