LikeABoss arrived on K-Time's crime-drama shelf in 2021, a Lebanese production carrying director Philippe Asmar's stamp across every frame it reaches.
What is LikeABoss about?
LikeABoss is a 2021 Lebanese feature built around crime and drama, credited to director Philippe Asmar and led by a cast that includes Kosai Khauli, Nadine Njeim, Hussein Mokadem, Carmen Lebbos, and Ramy Ayash. The catalogue entry favors atmosphere and character pressure over a single tidy hook, and the film sits comfortably alongside other Lebanese crime work in tone and pacing. Viewers coming for a regional crime drama with a recognizable ensemble will find the pieces here: a director working in genre territory, and a lineup of Lebanese screen actors carrying the material through to its close.
About the cast
The ensemble is led by Kosai Khauli and Nadine Njeim, with Hussein Mokadem, Carmen Lebbos, and Ramy Ayash rounding out the principal cast. Carmen Lebbos in particular is a familiar name across Lebanese and pan-Arab film and television, and her presence here sits within a broader career built on dramatic roles. The film does not lean on star power alone to carry it — director Philippe Asmar's crime-drama sensibility gives the cast a genre frame to work inside, one built on tension between characters rather than spectacle.
Context & significance
LikeABoss belongs to a small but steady stream of Lebanese crime dramas that reach K-Time's library, offering diaspora viewers a regional alternative to the English-language crime staples that dominate most streaming catalogues. Lebanon's film industry has long balanced international festival ambitions with genre filmmaking aimed squarely at home and regional audiences, and this 2021 release sits in that second lane — a director and cast working in familiar crime-drama grammar rather than arthouse experimentation, made for viewers who already know the genre's rhythms.
