At first I thought the cackling evil businessman vs. the noble peasants thing was a bit silly and simplistic, but the second act comes together really well (the snooker scene is great), and it becomes quite entertaining watching this rich dude realise how badly he’s fucked everything up

Relative to other Chahine films the writing here is substantially more melodramatic and grandiose to the degree it's hard to take seriously at times. In terms of narrative, it doesn't have much bite in terms of how it touches social dynamics but I do think there is at least an admirable attempt to tackle the concept of guilt within the upper class, even if not much is really done with that.
