captaincameron Oh, my God. While I am a fan of all films, good and bad, one scrapes the bottom of the barrel. If a pair of stoned film students with a fluffy cat made a "Benji Saves The Universe," it would be of Oscar quality as compared to this. Acting-bad. Special effects-bad. Storyline-convoluted. And bad. The storyline is actually the best part (here is where a semi-spoiler is) that it jumps back and forth, making you think that perhaps it's an art film, or has flashbacks, or has elements of An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bride. But that was just optimism on my part--hoping against hope that there would be something--ANYTHING--redeeming about this. But there is not. My apologies to the fine people who clearly put in some effort and spent at least three days writing, casting, filming, and editing this horrendous piece of crap. If I could list a score of less than 1, I would. If you find yourself somehow forced to watch this, you may consider by drinking drain cleaner a better and more enjoyable alternative.

Finally ,he will confront against a brutal nasty(Paul Naschy) and the gruesome robot dog.This is an exciting story about a convict on the run,William Miller stars as the hapless prisoner is wooden but his action scenes are well played.The mythic Spanish wolf man,Paul Naschy-Jacinto Molina-,is good as the sadistic villain,as always.The structure film is pretty plain and simple ,but concerns about the relentless pursuit and fighting among a fugitive and a savage dog following his footsteps.The picture is a remake from previous film titled : ¨The dog¨(1976)based on Alberto Vazquez Figueroa novel and directed by Antonio Isasi Isasmendi with Jason Miller,the first version develops a political intrigue with dictatorship included and resounding message.This new adaptation is a violent film with noisy action,stirring thriller and lots of blood and gore.The film is produced by Julio Fernandez(Filmax)with middling budget.Colorful and adequate cinematography by Javier Salmones,an expert Spanish cameraman(Romasanta,Thirteen chimes,The Borgia,art of dying) and atmospheric music by Mark Thomas(Dog soldiers,Agent Cody Banks 2).The motion picture is regularly directed by Brian Yuzna,a gore and guts expert director(Faust,Dentist 1,2,Society,Bride Reanimator).Rating : Average but entertaining.

reeves2002 I had a free rental and wanted to see this one.I don't understand why everyone hated it.It was not unwatchable like some people said it was.I didn't love it,but I didn't mind it either.I was confused by the plot at times since it starts off with prisoner's trying to escape and you don't know what they did.And the cop or guard(or whoever he was) holding them was acting as demented as the dog so it was hard to tell who the criminals were.The story with the prison dog should have been explained better from the start.When I read the description on the back of the DVD cover I was expecting a different kind of movie,so it was a little misleading.I thought it was gonna be about a vicious mechanical dog who was trained(somehow)to assist the cops and go after and retrieve violent criminals while on the run from the law or something.Instead a dog was beaten to death,and then re-built mechanically to exact revenge. a prisoner escapes and then you see flashbacks that are hard to piece together. It seemed like everyone was playing some kind of game with each other.The story could have been better but unlike most people I liked the special effects. There was a lot of gore and a bit of male nudity for a change done tastefully.I got a kick out of the mechanical dog.It seemed nothing could stop it or kill it.It was just bent on destroying Dante and everyone else in it's path.I thought William Miller who played Dante did a good job.I enjoyed his journey and all the people he encounters while on the run from that demented dog trying to reunite with his lover.I didn't expect the tragic ending after all he had to go through to get there.

Tim Hayes Rottweiler is a dog of a movie. And that's no joke. Its one of those films that just kind of meanders around for an hour and a half and then ends. Not much of a point really, just one scene to the next. Dante is arrested for a crime he didn't commit and sent to jail. he escapes and becomes a fugitive from the law. Hot on his trail, however, is a cybernetic rottweiler that is the pet of the sadistic warden Kurfa. Basically, everyone that Dante comes across becomes prey for the beast. The film is hampered as I said from a very scene to scene plot. Its just Dante stumbles across some people, interacts with them, the dog shows up and kills everyone, Dante escapes and the dog follows. There is little to no character development here. Through some flashbacks, we find out why Dante was imprisoned in the first place and his connection to the warden Kurfa. The CGI dog looks like a cross between dinosaur bones and a terminator robot and in some scenes just doesn't mesh with the actors. And as for the actors, there's not a single likable character in the movie so its hard to really root for anyone. Its too bad, cause Rottweiler could have been a cool movie. It just seems to have fleas is all.
