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]

What was supposed to be a return to form results in a whim as subtle as a sandwich made out of bottlecaps. [Full review in Spanish]

Never I have seen something different like this look Besson decided to make a movie about loyalty loyalty in a shape of dog loyalty that is missing in the society that we live in fights against materialistic and maciavelistic society. This is definitely a movie that makes you appreciate having legs And having dogs. And don’t get me started with the acting of the main character he’s absolutely stunning. This man was born to be an actor the way he pursue the character each and every role he’s a different person but so deep and literally him being this. Role.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Fantastic film. Reasonably showing a coping mechanism through animals for unimaginable trauma. This film shows love, hurt, conviction, strength, and hurt better than most do.
