Dog Eat Dog

2016 · 93 min

A grimy, jittery crime spiral that feels sleazy and unpredictable, with flashes of black comedy and sudden brutality.

Overview
Ex-cons Troy, Mad Dog, and Diesel are hired by an eccentric mob boss to kidnap a baby and hold it for a large ransom. When the abduction goes awry, the men find themselves on the run from the mob and the cops. Vowing to stay out of prison at all costs, getting away with the crime is a matter of life and death.
