Pauline Kael

RTThe New YorkerSep 18, 2023

A crisp, toughminded action film... The casting of Christopher Walken as Shannon, the leader of the group, gives the film the fuse it needs.

RTWashington PostDec 18, 2015

The Dogs of War can be recommended only as a desperate snack for rabid tastes.

Critic

RTTime OutJan 26, 2006

This is just another weary hack job from a rootless British film industry in decline.

…gritty expose of corruption…with a non-nonsense, weather-beaten attitude to geo-politics…
