DogMan is a film directed by Luc Besson and stars Caleb Landry Jones, Jojo T. Gibbs, Marisa Berenson, James Payton, and Christopher Denham. The film is a character-driven tragedy set in a fictional version of America. The protagonist, Douglas (Doug), is an antihero who uses a pack of stray dogs to inflict street justice on bullies and thugs. The film explores themes of identity, masks, inner selves, and societal norms. Caleb Landry Jones delivers a powerful performance as Doug. The rest of the cast struggles with the tonal inconsistency of the film. DogMan is a wild and volatile mess, but it is a weirdly moving and charming depiction of a man seeking redemption. The film is filled with heady bons mots and musings from Doug as he recounts a life of pain and misery. The script raises questions about Doug's gender identity and sexuality. The film is a patchwork of influences, including Cecil B. Demented, Turner & Hooch, and La Cage aux Folles. DogMan is an uncategorizable film that embraces the outcast and is considered to be Luc Besson's most interesting work to date. [1b6eb853]
According to a review by Leia Organa from Screen Rant, DogMan is an action-thriller directed by Luc Besson. The film follows Doug, a man with a tortured past and a love for dogs. Caleb Landry Jones delivers a standout performance as Doug, but the supporting cast weakens the film. The lack of clear vision and direction from Besson is a major flaw. The movie lacks coherence and most of it drags. The concept of the film is confusing and becomes more jarring and incoherent as the movie progresses. The imagery and language used suggest that the film intended to say more than it did. DogMan will have a limited release in theaters on March 29, before a wider release from April 5. [85f5340b]
