Critics Consensus

While Besson, Landry Jones, and a pack of mutts lend DogMan their roaring souls, this entry offers ample creative risks and kibbled returns.

This is the perfect movie for those days you’re convinced that dogs are better than people—even if that’s every day.

[Caleb Landry Jones] is astounding in this role, so you sit there completely engaged in this film where there is not a single believable moment in it.

I wouldn't recommend watching DogMan for its half-baked rumination on god or forgiveness... But I would recommend watching this if you are curious to see how far Caleb Landry Jones is willing to go.

2.5/5

Despite a terrific lead turn from Caleb Landry Jones, Luc Besson’s stylish drama/thriller Dogman just isn’t original enough to be memorable.

A baroque comicstrip superhero who is also a supervillain, 'Dogman' is a beast that does not know or respect norms, genres or styles. [Full review in Spanish]

What was supposed to be a return to form results in a whim as subtle as a sandwich made out of bottlecaps. [Full review in Spanish]

I'm honestly both amazed and puzzled by people putting any reference to dogs in their reviews. Have they actually watched the movie? Ot it's all about watching the trailer and/or feeding the script to AI to produce a review? It's like saying that "the movie is about guns, because there was a gun on the wall". Dogs are merely decoration. The movie is about people. About, well, I'm not spoilering - you got to watch it. I'd say it's a masterpiece.
