Dogs is a metaphor for people. It implies loyalty or else. Darius (Andrew Howard) is the top dog who demand loyalty. His wife Nadia (Barbara Nedeljakova) a former prostitute who he "rescued" is having an affair. When Darius finds out....the fun begins.
The film starts out like a grindhouse with music, split scenes and graphics. The story is rather simple, but to make it confusing they use a series of flash back or flash forwards without any clear distinction. While the scenes tie into each other, it appears as if they were experimenting with the effect and as a result made it ineffective. If you are looking for a British crime film, go elsewhere. About 30 minutes into the film it digresses into a home break-in formula.
The film was violent. The characters were never established. They were all bad guys, some worse than others, none we could root for.
Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, male rear nudity. Violence to women.

TOO STUBBORN TO DIE. TOO STUPID NOT TO.
BEWARE
ANY title with Tammi Sutton in it (this time as director) needs to be scrutinized for fake reviews. The last 'fare' this person was involved in was "Whispers", and it is the most ridiculous and vast example of skewed/fake reviews to have ever happened on IMDb or RedBox. On a good note, since the direction on both films is trash, Ms. Sutton can always acquire a job fluffing ... reviews for others too.
Confused
What??? I watched this film for 20mins, turned it of because it was so bad. Felt guilty, because maybe I hadn't given it a fair chance, another 20mins was given. My God, am I demented, or was this movie a film school project that they forgot to write a script for. The acting wasn't terrible, but why watch an improv class. For the final stage of the film, I just watched with dismay, waiting for a clown to pop up shouting "Gotcha", now that would have been funny. Sadly this didn't happen, however, some of the effects did make me snigger, especially the hand chopping incident. If this film had been any worse it would probably become a cult classic! Unfortunately this was not the case.
