Consistently delivers the goods. Go to Full Review
Joe Leydon Variety Aug 4, 2017
"Savage Dog" is a good deal less than watertight in terms of logic and credibility, but Adkins' blunt-force physicality is sufficiently impressive ... Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Aug 3, 2017
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. Go to Full Review

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

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

3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

Draco L Jan 22, 2019 Many unbelievable scenes, ect. Good story line though. Not a terrible movie but I wouldn't watch again, nor recommend.
George M Nov 22, 2018 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 . See more
Draco L Apr 7, 2018 Starts like an 80's kickboxing B movie, then veers off into blood soaked depravity. Somehow it still manages to be boring.
Hermione S Jan 22, 2018 i tried to give this a 1.0 because most of the fight scenes weren't bad, and some were pretty good. but EVERYTHING else in this movie is abysmal. i couldn't believe it. all the usual stuff like acting, dialogue, characters, etc. and also some unusual stuff. i started watching on fast like 5 minutes in, and gave up after about a half hour. i skipped around and watched the fight scenes. i even skipped the other action (guns/explosions). i don't usually notice details like this, which illustrates how obvious and glaring some of these issues were. there was a fight during a storm with lightning, but every time the lightning flashes, it lights everything up yellow. lightning flashes white not yellow. there was another scene where it was so obvious they were using lighting from behind our view when we are facing the sun. some of the prop stuff was laughable. when a hand gets cut off, not only does the severed hand look fake, but you can clearly see that the arm is not much longer and the guy is holding something that is squirting blood. and the worst offense, someone wearing a tank top undershirt gets shot like 4 times, and not only does the blood spatter look fake, as he falls in slow motion you can CLEARLY see the packets or whatever they use underneath his shirt, you can even see them move back and forth as he hits the ground. hilarious (1 viewing) See more
Leia S Nov 16, 2017 A Adkins movie that's like it's suppose to be.. He is a good fighter with some very nice moves, when he gets to show it.. And it has that 80's feel to it.. See more
Han S Aug 7, 2017 The film very nice but the quality of scott was that it gave more the actris bad work the others ok the best fight the end,so You have my respect scott I hope that the second this better good work to the team some details to improve in the film.. See more
