This is streaming in the US on Amazon Prime but the subtitles are pretty frustrating. They skip probably 40% of what is said. It's awful. You can feel the translator saying, "Ehhh, you get the drift."

I'm still watching this but I do notice that, like many college students from 90's era US films, Murad seems to be in his early to mid-thirties.

Seriously, these subtitles are awful. Entire paragraphs summer up as two words. No background conversation subtitled ever. Conversations between three to four people on which one or more are ignored entirely. And even when subs are down, they are late and not synced properly.
