there's not enough story here but every time David pops up on the soundtrack to spout dime-novel cliches like, "Fear the hanged man, because he's dead already," this movie takes on the quality of classic storybook, not straight-to-video schlock
Savage Dog is nicely put together. Whilst it's clearly on a restrained budget, the confined setting builds a firmly established world in which the story exists. Johnson provides assured direction, and Gabriel Gely some good cinematography
