"Savage Dog" is a good deal less than watertight in terms of logic and credibility, but Adkins' blunt-force physicality is sufficiently impressive ...

Los Angeles Times

There's not enough story here but every time David pops up on the soundtrack to spout dime-novel clichs ... this movie takes on the quality of classic storybook, not straight-to-video schlock.

While nothing groundbreaking, Savage Dog is a bloody good time for action junkies who need a fix.

This is a film for only the hardiest of cinema masochists, and even then one should question what they're doing with their life.

Rated: 1/5

Cinema Crazed

The film is built to showcase Scott Adkins and is definitely more for his fans and those of Zaror, but it's still fun for the casual action film audience.

Rated: 3.5/5

There is ALOT of things that are bad about this movie, dang I actually feel bad for watching it. I thought it was super messed up when the main character ( Scott adkins) kills the officer ( who was a wrestle before) straight out with a gun when that fight was supposed to be fair with only contact fighting damn, and it didn’t seem logical that when Martin Tillman is in plane sight killing all those officers with an AK 47 and the officers who have WAY more better fire arms than him, don’t even hit him in the fricking arm or leg. This movie is pure garbage a college student film type of movie. Absolute crap

One off my favorite movies where Director, Jesse V. Johnson, teams up with Martial Arts action stars Scott Adkins. Set in 1959 Indochina the story is ripe with characters with secrets and compromised morality. Adkins captures the attention of the audience with his strong, silent demeanor. He is sympathetic as a man trying to overcome his past but dragged into the underbelly of the underground fight scene. Cung Le and Marko Zaror are stand outs in the villain roles. Juju Chan pleasantly surprises in her dramatic role, although I couldn't help wanting to see her display her adept martial arts skills. If you have never seen a Scott Adkins movie this is a great one to start with.

Not the be of his finest efforts. Standard revenge action movie fodder. Clear good guy Clear bad guys You can guess the rest Some of the fight scenes are good enough. Scott Adkins is a great martial arts performer. But SFX around them are lousy and detract from it .
