Dog Eat Dog – Official Trailer 1 – Nicolas Cage

Dog Eat Dog tells the story of three men, just fresh out of prison and trying to get back to civilian life.

The California three strikes law looms over them, but what the hell, they’re going to do it, and they’re going to do it their way. Troy (Nicolas Cage), an aloof mastermind, seeks an uncomplicated, clean life but cannot get away from his hatred for the system. Diesel (Christopher Matthew Cook) is on the mob’s payroll and his interest in his suburban home and his nagging wife is waning. The loose cannon of the trio, Mad Dog (Willem Dafoe), is possessed by true demons within, which lead him from one situation to the next. One more hit, one more jackpot, and they’ll all be satisfied. Troy constructs the perfect crime and they pull it off, but in the aftermath, they keep finding the law surrounding them wherever they go.

Directed by Paul Schraeder, from a script by Matthew Wilder, and based on the novel by Edward Bunker, who also starred in the flesh in Reservoir Dogs (as Eddie Bunker), the film also stars Paul Schrader, himself, as Grecco The Greek, and it looks like it could be good, but then Scraeder also directed Cage in Dying of the Light, and that was terrible. And it’s been a long time since he wrote Taxi Driver.

Dog Eat Dog is relased in UK cinemas November 11th.
