Nonureva Really Surprised!

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

JohnnyLee1 Congrats to all who put this together and made it the compelling film that it is. Not a weak link here. Better than The Stanford Prison Experiment which has the same tense confined atmosphere throughout. Interesting to compare and contrast the experiences of the characters in these two movies. Canadian. (8/16)

gilbertcarlton7 My review is going to contain SPOILERS. DO NOT read it if you haven't seen the movie yet. This movie was incredibly moving and sometimes very intense. At the end of the movie I felt very empty because I was hoping for a different ending but I see the ending as a sort of Martyrdom for my favorite character, Butch. In this movie I see Butch as a defender and unsung hero. He never committed violence unless he was pushed and provoked by someone else. For instance in the beginning when the Correctional Officer was abusing him, he defended himself or when the crooked trustee bullies who ruled with abuse and terror, where terrorizing him and his friends and he took care of them and gave them a taste of Justice. He also defended and protected Davis by dealing with them. When Angel was murdered and Davis was raped and committed suicide Butch reached his breaking point from the injustice and that nothing was done about it and he incited a riot during the hunger strike for the death of the two boys. What I got from this movie is not that Butch, his friends and the majority of the inmates are the bad guys but that the crooked and abusive officers and inmate bullies are. When Butch saw that nothing was going to be done and that officer Goodyear refused to answer for his crimes and say what happened, he decided to take justice into his own hands, in the only way he was able too. I was hoping that the movie would end with Butch making Officer Goodyear and all the other crooked officers answer for their crimes and that he would escape. I was very frustrated with the ending but I think it served to give Butch martyrdom in his fight against corrupt bullies whether they are in the form of corrupt and abusive correctional officers or violent and abusive inmate bullies. One of my favorite movies of all time and the meaning of it will stick with me for a long time.

Kenard_joy I was introduced to this movie by my cousin, and after watching this movie it left me speechless. "Dog Pound" is a great movie it keeps you entertained and into the movie.During the movie you'll see some sad and upsetting parts as you grow interest in the movie. "Dog Pound" does a good job at giving the viewers connection with the characters and grow feeling for the three boys."Dog Pound" offers a lot of emotion, entertainment, and even courage from the viewers. This movie gets a ten from me, because of it's production, cast, and the ability to deliver. A movie that delivers will also turn out to be a great movie, because most movies don't deliver anymore... "Dog Pound" a MUST WATCH movie.

thebogofeternalstench Right from the start of the film, or "yaaaah, movie" as the yanks say, you know the whole film is going to be $hit, what with the over acted yelling involving that miserable looking idiot and the screw.I couldn't quite pinpoint it, but the whole flow and style of the film was cheesy, two dimensional and unrealistic.The dialog is laughable, the main screw walks round with a cup of tea/coffee most of the time.Every main scene from Scum is ripped of in Dogpound. The snooker room scene is replaced with a table tennis scene, instead of one of the antagonists getting walloped with a snooker ball filled sock, hes smacked in the face with a table tennis bat. Even the bathroom scene is somewhat copied. And the rape scene was utterly pathetic. THe guy being raped easily could of/should of defended off his attackers.THe film goes and ends nowhere. I absolutely hated it.
