Critic Reviews

  • Aaron Hillis, Village Voice

    With a background in television and music videos, director Carlos Moreno's feature debut is mighty shallow. Its bloodshed carries little weight; the sporadic humor is cheap and casually racist.

  • Robert Koehler, Variety

    Resembles a Tony Scott movie without any of his intelligence and cinematic invention.

  • Matthew Nestel, Boxoffice Magazine

    It's not rattling the genre.

  • Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru

    A dark crime thriller low on suspense, but at least it manages to be moderately compelling, invigorating and somewhat of a guilty pleasure, as long as you don't have a weak stomach for violence.

  • Rob Humanick, Slant Magazine

    Dog Eat Dog's choice of hyper-stylized, overexposed cinematography is ultimately more concerned with creating a mood of jittery, hell-on-earth claustrophobia than it is with forcibly exoticizing its crime-stricken Colombian setting.

    Bloody and slow paced gangster movie. Some interesting atmospheres but the themes are overused and consequently lacking in interest and originality. the performances are quite good, except for an exaggerated Blas Jaramillo, too bad because this was his last one.
