Game changer....

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2018)

I saw this around 93/94 in the UK at the cinema. Then I saw it another 9 times at the cinema. Let me tell you why it had the impact that it had....
At the time this movie came out, probably the most exciting movies on offer was the Die Hard Franchise, Schwarzenegger schtick, Rambo and Rocky XXXVIII or the Jack Ryan franchise. Safe, predictable movies that followed well worn formulas. Then along came Dogs.
At the time it was a breath of fresh air. It was politically incorrect, the characters talked like they were actually engaged in conversation rather than merely forwarding the narrative of the story. The structure kept you on your toes. In short, the average cinema goer had never seen anything like it. It was exciting.
Unfortunately it was all downhill after PF and the emperor has been seen to be wearing no clothes but there's no denying the power of this first one. RIP off or no rip off.
