'See Spot Run' is an action-comedy that incorporates classic elements of the genre such as high-stakes chases, life-threatening situations, and a charismatic antagonist—in this case, an assassin mob boss targeting a drug-sniffing FBI canine agent. Typical action tropes like rescue missions, narrow escapes, and the clash between good and evil are present. However, the film stands out by blending these with lighthearted humor and family-friendly scenarios, particularly through the involvement of an irresponsible neighbor, Gordon, and a young boy, James. The inclusion of a dog protagonist who inadvertently becomes the centerpiece of the chase adds a unique charm and warmth to the story, setting it apart from typical action titles that focus solely on human characters and intense violence.
