Recently, Saudi director Abdulaziz Alshlahei returns with Aks Sir, a crime, action, and black comedy film. This marks Alshlahei's fourth collaboration with writer Mufrej Al-Majfel, with their latest work showcasing Alshlahei's ability to control pace, stage action, and inject comic irony into a story driven by chases and the criminal underworld. The film follows two friends, Naji and Atta, who work for a cash-transport company. When Naji plots to save his wife, their journey turns into a chaotic adventure filled with unexpected twists. The cash-in-transit setting provides a fitting backdrop for suspense and pursuit. Young actor Mishary Al Ajaji makes his cinematic debut in the film as Saad, a security employee. Additionally, three prominent social media influencers make brief guest appearances in the movie. The film was produced in Saudi Arabia and filmed across Riyadh and the Eastern Province.",
