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]

A hunds. Besson's "Dogman" is a twisted canine odyssey where man's best friend becomes a vengeful ally, transforming disability into dark, poetic justice through Caleb Landry Jones' mesmerizing performance. Yes it may be far fetched at times (pun intended), but if you love hunds then you will melt everyone one or all of them appear on screen.

DogMan delivers a dark and twisted story that grips you from start to finish, never letting go of its intense momentum. The film's unflinching narrative is elevated by a fantastic casting choice, with performances that bring depth and authenticity to this gritty tale. Despite its heavy themes, the film is never boring, maintaining a captivating pace that keeps you on the edge of your seat. A great watch that masterfully balances its darker elements with compelling storytelling.
