Critics Consensus

While Besson, Landry Jones, and a pack of mutts lend DogMan their roaring souls, this entry offers ample creative risks and kibbled returns.

This is the perfect movie for those days you’re convinced that dogs are better than people—even if that’s every day.

[Caleb Landry Jones] is astounding in this role, so you sit there completely engaged in this film where there is not a single believable moment in it.

I wouldn't recommend watching DogMan for its half-baked rumination on god or forgiveness... But I would recommend watching this if you are curious to see how far Caleb Landry Jones is willing to go.

Loud and Clear Reviews

Despite a terrific lead turn from Caleb Landry Jones, Luc Besson’s stylish drama/thriller Dogman just isn’t original enough to be memorable.

Rated: 2.5/5

A baroque comicstrip superhero who is also a supervillain, 'Dogman' is a beast that does not know or respect norms, genres or styles. [Full review in Spanish]

Im surprised this film hasn't been scored higher in reviews. Original, visually impressive and left me wanting more from the main character and this universe.

Luc Besson delivers a great movie. What a story, superb interpretation from Caleb, the dogs… my god THE DOGS. Wow…. just… wow… the ending it’s too much, but I don’t care, I just love this movie.
