Playgoers in the know will arrive at any production of the 1937 West End smash Me And My Girl already humming a bit of its legendary Act I closer 'The Lambeth Walk,' looking forward to a rousing showstopper where composer Noel Gay's peppy earworm is matched with co-bookwriterlyricists L.

"Dog Soldiers" is a well-made -- though mindless -- horror-mayhem film, pitting a group of British soldiers out on a training exercise in the Scottish Highlands against a bloodthirsty band of werewolves. The action is essentially by the numbers, but there is a welcome lack of pretension about the film, which very simply sets out to entertain and ends up delivering in good measure.
In previous werewolf movies, much is made about the transition process and the fact that the evil comes out only on full moons. Not so here. The awaited transformation scene involves bulging eyes, a quick fall behind a table and then up again as a slobbering monster. Kevin McKidd, who starred in "Trainspotting", walks away with acting honors, playing the only soldier with a few brain cells, while Sean Pertwee as his sergeant is also first-rate. Neophyte director Neil Marshall shows his background in editing by constructing a well-made romp that never slows down.
The squad of soldiers on a training mission in the Highlands comes across a decimated special forces team. It seems they were stalking the werewolves, but the tables have been turned, and now the squaddies are the prey. With the help of a local girl, they hide in a remote farmhouse. Members of the squad get bitten, slashed and generally slaughtered though the night, while the girl -- no surprise here -- turns out to be a reluctant werewolf herself.
The script is littered with movie in-jokes. One character is named Bruce Campbell, after the star of "Evil Dead". Elsewhere there is an oblique reference to Michelangelo Antonioni's "Zabriskie Point". The most telling link comes when one character parallels the soldiers' situation to the soldiers battling the Zulu hordes in the film "Zulu". In some ways, "Dog Soldiers" is a retelling of "Zulu". The soldiers could be fighting off Zulu warriors, aliens or werewolves -- it doesn't really matter. The action is what matters -- and the film delivers that well.
