Internet Reactions

One person wrote, "The movie #7Dogs is a tremendous leap forward for Saudi and Arab cinema in general, a jaw-dropping work that dazzles you with the sheer scale of production and the level of action, thrill, and suspense. A work that proves - with the numbers - that Saudi cinema is capable of competing with global productions in terms of crews, production, and filming locations, and it reflects the magnitude of the progress we've reached."

Another viewer mentioned, "I watched the movie #7Dogs and found myself facing a work that transcends the boundaries of expectations - an unparalleled creativity in direction and cinematography, and a meticulously crafted cinematic piece worthy of world cinema and confidently rivaling it. A gripping plot, escalating suspense, and evident care for the finest details made the experience enjoyable from the very first scene all the way to the end (the aeroplane scene). To be honest, I feel we are on the cusp of a truly global cinematic industry, driven by ambition, vision, and substantial support under the leadership of His Excellency Advisor Turki Al-al-Shaikh, who has contributed to opening new horizons for the entertainment and film industry."

Another user added, "I entered #7Dogs and I was so excited for it because of the project's scale and the huge buzz that preceded it, and after watching it, I can say that we're facing a massive cinematic work that raises the bar of expectations for the film industry in the region. The film is visually stunning, from the cinematography quality to the direction and artistic execution, and the action scenes that came at a world-class level, reflecting the magnitude of the effort and resources mobilised for this work. Moreover, the presence of the stars, their performances, and the massive production granted the film additional value and made the experience enjoyable and full of thrill. This project deserves credit for its ability to present an ambitious model of what Saudi and Arab cinema can achieve when vision, support, and resources converge in a single work."

What Is 7 Dogs About?

The film is set around a crime syndicate called ‘7 Dogs' and a dangerous new drug called Pink Lady. According to Variety, the story follows Interpol officer Khalid Al-Azzazi, who arrests Ghali Abu Dawood, a senior member of the crime group.

A year later, the syndicate returns with plans to move the new drug across the Middle East. Khalid then has to work with Ghali, who knows the group and its operations better than anyone else.

The film has been written by Turki Al-Sheikh, who also produced the project. It has been mounted as a large-scale action film, with crime, chase sequences, and international locations forming a major part of the story.
