Dog Eat Dog (I) (2016)
6/10
A dark comedy with shocking scenes thrown in that don't really seem to fit the overall feel of the movie.
5 December 2016
"I didn't want justice. I just wanted what I wanted, like everyone." Troy (Cage) and Mad Dog (Dafoe) have just been released from prison and are trying to live straight. When they discover that makes life boring they decide to do one last job that they can retire off of and leave the running behind. They are asked to do a simple kidnapping job and accept. Things immediately go wrong and now they are left wondering how to cover up their mistake, and who will pay them. This is a movie that seemed to have a lot of potential and a great idea, but ended up being a little to generic with scenes simply put in for shock factor. Cage is at his normal self in this role, playing either very toned down or comically over the top. Dafoe steals this, as he usually does, and he is really the main reason to watch this. This is not a bad movie at all and is a decent watch, but just too generic for me to say its good. Overall, a dark comedy with shocking scenes thrown in that don't really seem to fit the overall feel of the movie. I give this a B-.
