    Each night I play a game of movie roulette with the stores database app, CLZ Movies. It has a cool function where you tilt your phone and it generates a random film from the 17,000. I then find it and post a pic. Here's today's indiscriminately chosen title... DOG EAT DOG (2016)

    Adam and the Ants - Dog Eat Dog 1980 #uncooltwo20 9/50 +1 bonus Burundi drums, western movie soundtrack guitars and even a marvel UK comic book series about his Dandy Highwayman / Pirate / Cowboy persona. Adam is no one hit wonder. This is a song I never tire of. youtu.be/FXJD0pF5A8k?...

    Really happy I finally decided to watch Dog Eat Dog. It's not a great movie, but it's always incredible to see the kind of things Schrader does. Not sure if I've seen him in one of his movies before. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

    Tekkonkinkreet rules. Finally started the Slayers movies I miss the crew from the Tv series but Lina is still great. Fantasy Football one of the easier watches for my bad movie club. Dog Eat Dog , my least favorite schrader I’ve seen but still has its moments.

    As an advanced reader around twelve-ish years old, I somehow managed to get my hands on this paperback, long before I could see the movie, good times! Anyhoo, read and watch : No Beast So Fierce, Animal Factory, Dog Eat Dog. #noirvember

    Hugh Jackman was a baritone doing tenor and he has no falsetto so Bring Him Home was YELLED, but there wasn't another star who could have played Valjean so I get it. Also, they cut Dog Eat Dog, the best song in the show. I don't really care about Les Mis as a show anymore but the film was so meh.

    I’ve been listening to the Stop Making Sense soundtrack pretty much nonstop since watching the film, but it does see strange that Dog Eat Dog isn’t on here anywhere.

    29. Dog Eat Dog This movie was an irredeemable, flaming bag of dog shit from start to finish. Empty shock value. I'm not sure what the point was other than to write a decent paycheck to Nic and Willem Dafoe, who played the most disgusting asshole ever. Congrats, Gunslingers, on leaving last place.

    30. Dog Eat Dog (2016) 3 Ex-Cons team up for one last job. As a whole? This movie wasn't good. Yet, many scenes were good by themselves - the intro for example. Cage & Defoe deliver. I wouldn't recommend this to someone, but I was engaged. Also Cage does a pretty good Bogart impression. - Liked -

    My five: -Matchstick Men -Raising Arizona -Lord of War -Pig -Con Air/The Rock/TUWOMT (tie because I like these for their memes) and Honorable Mention to Dog Eat Dog (because that's the movie that got my Cage number, to "1"!)

    Dog Eat Dog ain't too trash, but it is pretty hard to believe that this came from the same dude who made First Reformed. There is absolutely not so much as a single character in this that the audience can be expected to like, and though of course no filmmaker is obligated to make enjoyable characters, it is pretty tough to slog through a >90min runtime of back-to-back bastards. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.

  • Wuchak @WuchakTMDB reviews · Feb 23, 2018

    Quirky black comedy/crime thriller about three hardcore thugs in Cleveland Directed by the renowned Paul Schrader, this stars Nicolas Cage, Willem Dafoe & Christopher Matthew Cook as the friends who are in-and-out of prison and get gigs from mafiosos, including one that smacks of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping. Schrader's films are often preoccupied with Christian religion and sexual obsession (porn, strip joints, prostitution, nudity, etc.), as verified by "Hardcore,” "Cat People" (1982) and…
