The film is a drama based on dark comedy, and tells in a distinctly Hollywood manner the story of the most famous fraud by issuing contributions on Sawa recharge cards in Saudi Arabia about 20 years ago, which was known at the time as Hammour Sawa.
The film's idea was characterized by its bold presentation, realism, and events that attracted the viewer from the first to the last moments.
It's a must seen movie.

The movie is a hopeless attempt to copy 'The Wolf of Wall Street movie but failed badly. The acting is really bad, like the actors just didn't know how to make their characters interesting or real. The story is just a bunch of old, boring ideas put together, and it doesn't flow well at all. It's clear the movie wants to be exciting and funny like the original, but it's just not. It's hard to watch because every scene feels forced and clumsy. It's a big disappointment and shows how not to make a movie. Watching it is a real test of patience.
I would advice those who didn't watch the Wolf of Wall Street to invest their time wisely.

The movie is a I understand the +18 rating as it pushes the boundaries in saudi cinema when it comes to explicit content, the acting is spot on with a few misses when it comes to the chemistry between the lead actor and his second wife. The cinematography is not consistent as you got some top notch shots followed by mediocre ones, it's like different teams worked on the project. The dialogue is very smart and the world building of early 2000's saudi is a refreshing nostalgia.
My main critique is that you can tell the movie took notes from wolf of wallstreet, and in someway it felt cringe
Overall, the movie is a fun, daring, sincere and true to the real story and I consider it a big step up to where Saudi cinema started.

An enjoyable and well-written film. What I like most is the acting, which is very convincing, especially the main character Hamed. The flow of the story is clear and not confusing, and with the beginning of Hamed we see the development of the character step by step. I think that in the middle of the film there was a gap in the course of events, but the situation was rectified. The level of humor is beautiful. Very, I find myself laughing non-stop. The situation comedy is very nice and suits the atmosphere of the movie. The writing is very good and the dialogues are on point. The ending is very satisfactory and fits the story. I hope to see Saudi works at this level.
I recently watched Alhamour H. A and I must say that I was not impressed. The story was based on a real one, but it lacked excitement. The story is not detailed enough with no thrill, making it quite dull and uninteresting. There were no real action scenes to be found in the movie, and the classification of 18+ seemed a bit excessive considering there was no explicit content. The acting was mediocre at best, and the plot felt rushed and incomplete. Overall, I would not recommend this movie to anyone looking for an entertaining and action experience. However it could be a real start point for Saudi cinema.
