The Dogs of War Reviews
Tsunami Magazine
Caffeinated Clint
A bonafide classic. Walken is terrific
eFilmCritic.com
Brian Mckay
Cry Havoc . . . and wake me up for the last 15 minutes. Not a bad film, but it is a bit of a mixed bag. I just wish that bag had held a higher body count.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Mr. Walken is unusually convincing in a difficult, hermetic kind of role.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
The Dogs of War is a guilty pleasure that is now old enough it sometimes actually pops up on Turner Classic Movies.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Walken has rarely delivered such an earthy, physical performance.
Washington Post
Gary Arnold
The Dogs of War can be recommended only as a desperate snack for rabid tastes.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
The end is pure '80s action entertainment.
New Yorker
Pauline Kael
A crisp, toughminded action film... The casting of Christopher Walken as Shannon, the leader of the group, gives the film the fuse it needs.
People Magazine
Long on plot and short on character.
TV Guide
[An] action film that will evaporate from the memory shortly after the end credits roll.
