English Dogs

Now I always say each to their own but anyone who gave this film a score of ten must be hard of thinking.

It tries to be slick but doesn't really succeed. Plot is splintered all over the place. Script is very average. Main actor is not to bad but supporting actors were C rate at best. Only watch if there is nothing else to do.

Interesting indie film shot in London and Bangkok, highlighting the illegal steroid trade. One crazy ride.

Byron Gibson has played in Only God Forgives before and does not disappoint here. Ron Smoorenburg has so many credits on his belt it is hard to keep track. If you know the acting scene in Thailand a bit, it is great to see so much talent united in one movie. It is a great example that good things can be created even if you have hardly any budget. Keep rocking, Byron!

English Dogs is a fun rampage through London and Bangkok. It follows the story of Byron who lands in Bangkok and heads straight for the red light zone. After having his cards and cash stolen by a wanton neon ballerina he hooks up with old Bangkok hand Dutch at the Old Dutch boozer on Soi Cowboy. Together the pair organize an international steroid export operation and bask in the cash like contented alligators until a new player hits town and puts the squeeze on. Byron must return to London to raise enough cash to free Dutch from the new mob. There's action aplenty in this caper and scenes that conjure up memories of popular crime films Lock Stock, or Rise of the Footsoldier. Worth checking out if you dig crime films and have a connection to Bangkok's seedy underbelly. Highly recommended.

Great little indie flick. I wanted to see more. Bloody good sounds too. I know these guys in Bkk and good luck to them. They put their money where their mouth is and made a feature and not a short. Long may they reign. See you at my bar chaps you can use it for no2. You need any help contact me!
