Rottweiler (2004)
10/10
A Film for the Ages
28 March 2020
A film like "Rottweiler" does not come along often enough. It presents us with a rare combination of an innovative, thrilling storyline, well-developed characters, expertly crafted special effects, and a message that strikes the hearts of viewers everywhere. From start to finish, characters are portrayed with world class acting, notably by William Miller, who enters the role of Dante on his valiant mission of escaping prison and finding his girlfriend, who he suspects is working in a brothel. Meanwhile, the role of bloodthirsty dog that follows in pursuit (played by Zeus) was equally impressive to watch.

The film is tense, gripping, and surprisingly full of lessons. Although you may try to piece together the various events from flashbacks (a well-known device used by director Brian Yuzna), eventually everything comes together in the end. "The sands of time," says the main villain at the end of the movie, effectively and adequately tying up any loose knots that the viewer might have.

Shortly put, "Rottweiler" is a film that everybody should watch at least once in their life. To not watch this film would be to miss out on an essential part of cinematic culture.
