7 Dogs review: Salman, Sanjay bring swag to Ahmed Ezz's high-octane actioner
The film '7 Dogs' is an action-packed thriller featuring an Interpol officer and a criminal who team up to stop a dangerous drug syndicate. Directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, the movie is praised for its global locations and high-energy, flamboyant action sequences.
Why it matters
It highlights the growing trend of international collaborations in cinema and the success of directors known for high-octane action franchises.
There are films that take their time building a story, and then there is 7 Dogs, which seems to have only one rule: keep moving. The film opens with a spectacular action sequence aboard an aeroplane that is seconds away from crashing, as two men somehow manage to save the aircraft. One of them is Khalid Al-Azzazi (Ahmed Ezz), an Interpol officer. The other is Ghali Abu Daoud (Karim Abdel Aziz), a criminal and an important member of the notorious Seven Dogs syndicate. That opening is essentially a trailer for what follows: big action, international locations, guns, explosions and barely any time to breathe.Khalid is ready to step away from field operations. He is getting married and wants a quieter life, but that plan is short-lived when a dangerous new drug called Pink Lady begins spreading through an international criminal network.
