Anchored, and essentially redeemed, by a fearless performance from Melinda Page Hamilton, Sleeping Dogs Lie has little else to recommend it from a creative level. Go to Full Review

06/25/2009 A VERY short film, but with some interesting characters. Keenan was great as Deputy Lance, but Wilk's and the rest were let down by lack of acting experience. A good story, and plot but a little too short. See more 01/24/2009 This didn't live up to my expectations sadly, but my only reason was to see what MJK was like. He did the silly cop really well, I think he'd be good in a comedy of anything. The plot was ok, but I think even though it was a short film (low budget) there could have been little bit more. See more 11/09/2008 Like most, I saw this out of curiosity since it starred Maynard James Keenan and Brad Wilk. a couple of well known musicians. This short tries to be an interesting thriller but falls short. More of a could-have-been than anything, its like a demo tape for a serious movie that never made it to re-recording. All the acting is fine, Maynard is great as a dorky cop but thats the only redeeming factor. Only recommended if you're a fan of the musicians. See more 08/02/2008 interesting short film See more 05/30/2008 I only saw this movie for one reason. Maynard. Obviously. And he made it worth watching. Deputy Lance is a man of action. The rest of the movie was just so-so. The plot was pretty good and unique. The movie was shot very well, too. The problem lies in the editing, a good bit of the acting and the dialogue. I did like how the song played during the credits was an APC song, though. See more Read all reviews
