Two teenage drifters join up in New Orleans. There, they get involved with a drug dealer who asks them to do a run to New York City for him, promising payment. When the deal goes bad, the boys shack up in an abandoned building on Manhattan's Lower East Side, where they find themselves surrounded by crime, homeless kids like themselves, and general squalor.

As much as Dog Run may lament the squatters' lives ... it can't abandon the old dream of dropping out of middle-class life and reinventing oneself as a romantic rebel.

Consisting of little more than episodes, impressions and stock misfit characters.

Keeps you glued to its images of helplessness, acceptance of sub-human conditions and the effects of drugs on malleable minds.

But, I have no good reason why. Disturbing. Drug-adled minds at work. There is little to cheer about in the end. Hopelessness is the greater theme, even in light of the false hope of the hero. Washington Square Park in NYC is the setting for much of the outdoor action. A favorite place for many filmmakers to shoot from.
