Dave Kehr New York Times As much as Dog Run may lament the squatters' lives ... it can't abandon the old dream of dropping out of middle-class life and reinventing oneself as a romantic rebel. Rated: 2/5 Oct 19, 2001 Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post The acting is nothing to write home about. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 19, 2001 Full Review Bilge Ebiri Citysearch Consisting of little more than episodes, impressions and stock misfit characters. Oct 19, 2001 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 14, 2005 Full Review Phil Hall Film Threat Interesting yet lopsided drama focusing on homeless youth in New York. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Marta Barber Miami Herald Keeps you glued to its images of helplessness, acceptance of sub-human conditions and the effects of drugs on malleable minds. Rated: 3/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member [url="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dog_run/dvd.php?select=1"][img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/coverv/07/208207.jpg[/img][/url] The film is worth watching. But, I have no good reason why. Disturbing. Drug-adled minds at work. There is little to cheer about in the end. Hopelessness is the greater theme, even in light of the false hope of the hero. Washington Square Park in NYC is the setting for much of the outdoor action. A favorite place for many filmmakers to shoot from. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
