Turki Al-Sheikh, head of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi Arabia, shared the promotional trailer for the movie “Death Squad” on his official Facebook page, on Sunday, and said that it will be “a distinctive film in the history of Arab cinema.” Al-Sheikh praised the film’s heroes: Ahmed Ezz, Menna Shalabi, Aser Yassin, Issam Omar, and the director Ahmed Alaa El-Deeb, and the film’s writer joked, saying: “I hope it will be the last work of my dear brother Salah Al-Juhaini, and if he thinks, he will be the painter of Hannarah...” in reference to the large number of his works recently, as he also wrote the series “The Prince” and the movie “Mansus,” which is scheduled to be shown at the end of this year.

The events of the movie "Death Squad", inspired by real events, revolve around what an Egyptian officer faces when he is assigned to arrest a dangerous criminal, nicknamed (the Upper Egypt Line). Ahmed Ezz recently finished filming his role as the hero of the series “The Prince,” while Menna Shalaby is preparing to air the series “Amber of Death” at the end of this November.
