Abrams understands again the physical limits of his character and never places them in a situation where they need to be super-human.

It’s certainly worth a look for those attracted to rural noir, though the promising results are never quite as clever or shocking as intended.

Hungry Dog Blues is a solid small town Thriller, compelling enough to keep you invested in the story. Jason Abrams succeeds in making one thing absolutely clear: family always comes first, but killing is always a nasty business.

Rated: 7/10

Hungry Dog Blues doesn’t look or feel like a feature film debut for director and writer Jason Abrams. Everything about this film shows that he is confident in his writing style and also confident in his directorial skills.

Rated: 7/10

Hargreaves is the kind of actress who consistently surrenders to her characters and that's precisely what she does here. It's mesmerizing to watch.

I love, love, love, small movies like this. No fluff, no extraneous nonsense, just good storytelling.

While the passion from writer/director/producer was clear throughout the film, the performances and character development were "meh" - I couldn't connect with any. It's not a bad film by any means but there was nothing about it that stood out as maybe even average.

It's such a different way to show noir and it's almost like a noir western? it's great.
