A father and son, live from day to day by carrying out petty crimes for the local mafia. Hired to kidnap a man and to deliver him across town seems simple enough until the man dies in the trunk of their car. What follows is a panicked after-hours odyssey with the police looking for them, the mafia expecting a live delivery, a dead body rotting in their trunk and they have no idea what awaits them next....

All of this is photographed and constructed with a gentle, handheld intimacy and the formal naturalism of the Dardennes.

4/5

An ingenious, if simple, high concept for a lean thriller that counts contemporary Casablanca as a lead character.

2/5

But as a piece of compelling and coherent narrative filmmaking, Hounds is unfortunately a fun beginning, a silly ending and with a mid-section that’s missing in action.

Kamal Lazraq creates an angry, feverish and very real exercise in unbridled cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

3.5/5

That is what this vibrant odyssey written in spit is about, making us calculate by weight what remains of the human soul among the living dead. [Full review in Spanish]

It doesn’t always work, but there’s enough dirt under its fingernails to make it a fascinating watch.
