It's sort of terrible. It's sort of terrific. It's never boring.November 04, 2016
A movie that seemed to be ultimately interested in yelling at the audience, and talking to itself.November 10, 2016
Dog Eat Dog is at its best when it's both strangely fascinating and repellant...But, like a fat tire with a nail, it loses air as it goes along and you're just left hoping that Cage and Dafoe bought themselves something nice with their paychecks.December 05, 2016
As Dog Eats Dog clicks along, the plot takes a backseat, until it evaporates completely, leaving a series of unsatisfying scenes that collapse in a bizarre climax.January 26, 2017
This is a nihilistic film about nasty folks on a self-destructive path, a little too familiar by now but still more interesting than your usual crime-gone-bad films ...February 01, 2017
A film that generates a hallucinogenic capacity for the most absolute fascination from beginning to end, where Schrader's psychedelic tone turns out really surprising. [Full review in Spanish]November 10, 2016
Dog Eat Dog occasionally positions itself as social commentary, but it's mainly a bloody, trippy, bare-fanged pulp thriller featuring terrifically entertaining performances from old dogs Cage and Dafoe.December 12, 2016
Dog Eat Dog is dark, unpleasant and violent.November 10, 2016
Saturated with campy gore, it plays as if they put the basic formula for a pulp B movie in a blender and set it to purée. The result is a punk comedy that's repugnant but never boring.November 07, 2016
Schrader thrusts the amoral ugliness onto the screen in puckishly cold compositions suffused with screechingly acidulous colors.November 14, 2016
The biggest waste is Cage: a brief spot of shit-losing would've gone a long way to elevating this forgettable thriller.February 01, 2017
A film full of social criticism that perhaps gets lost in an uncontrolled sea, with surprisingly calm interpretations, ends up being defined by some of the most ferocious dialogues of its protagonists. [Full review in Spanish]
