The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreThe movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
... View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
... View MoreI found "Savage Dog" on Netflix and decided to give it a watch, as Scott Atkins have some fair enough movies every now and again."Savage Dogs" was not a particularly outstanding movie, nor was it a bad one. It was actually entertaining enough for what it turned out to be, just don't get your expectations up too high.The story was straight forward, albeit quite predictable and generic. So director and writer Jesse V. Johnson didn't really throw the audience anything to think about. You simply just lean back and enjoy the ride for what it turned out to be.As an action movie, then "Savage Dog" of course have martial arts and fight scenes. The fight scenes were adequate, although very visibly staged and choreographed to the extend where it wasn't looking all that natural. Well, except for the fight between Cung Le and Scott Atkins.The cast was good and did alright jobs with their given roles, even though they had very little to work with in terms of storyline and plot.This is a mediocre action movie, and hardly a movie that you will watch more than once.
... View MoreSAVAGE DOG is a hugely entertaining action B-movie from the reliably great British action star Scott Adkins. It's set in 1959 and in the fetid jungles of Indochina, where Adkins is playing a brawling fighter in the employ of a cruel SS villain. Eventually he gets betrayed by his own side, survives a murder attempt, and goes on a killing spree to get revenge.It's a predictable enough with bits of BLOOD SPORT and the RAMBO series thrown in along the way, but nobody in their right mind is going to be watching this for the story. The action is where it counts, and the action of SAVAGE DOG is absolutely brilliant. The arena fights of the first half are all well and good, but once Adkins goes down the path of revenge this becomes brutal, expertly-choreographed, and thoroughly satisfying.Gore effects are utilised by CGI and look decent throughout, while the supporting cast is packed with engaging familiar faces: the hulking Marko Zaror as the bad guy, Keith David as the narrator, Cung Le as a soldier, Juju Chan as the romantic interest, Matthew Marsden as a British agent. Adkins is at the top of his game here and has never felt so powerful or merciless as he takes down foe after foe, and some of the effects are outrageous. I loved it to bits.
... View MoreI have to admit I have been looking forward to Savage Dog since I first heard about it getting made. The cast alone will be of great interest to action fans -Adkins, Zaror, Le, Kulich and a very cool Keith David.As always Scott Adkins leads the cast well, with lots of action and fights to keep the story going. A good mixture of fights and guns to keep everyone content.Give this film the chance it deserves, enjoy it - I know I did
... View MoreThis movie had all the potential to be great. Scott Adkins, the best on screen martial artist of this generation against Marko Zaror, a guy just as good as him in term of on screen fighting, and Cung Le, a real former MMA fighter who has proved he can also do excellent on screen fight but had yet to be in a movie with a decent script.Did it achieve its potential? Not really, but its still decent. This is a really low budget movie and you can see from the start, from the filming location being very limited to some bad cheap CGI blood effect, which are thankfully not too numerous.The story is good even tough simple, i don't really ask for too much for these type of movies. There is a decent amount of hand to hand action scenes, which is why you watch a Scott Adkins movie, and there very decent but as one guy pointed out, the character played by Adkins is supposed to be more of a brawler and the movie is set in the late 50s, so it reflect on the fighting side. Therefore do not expect a "Boyka vs Dolor 2" cause you are gonna be disappointed, but that does not mean that the fights are not interesting.I watched this movie with a a good amount of beer and honestly i had a good time. Its not a Ninja or Boyka movie, but its a great effort by Adkins and i had more fun than with Hard Target 2. This is the kind of movie i want to see Adkins in, and i wish more movies like that would be released.
