Black Dog (1998)
1/10
Mock gravitas and laughable dialogue
31 March 2003
HAHAHAHAHA

Oh, that amused me!

I'm not quite sure which bit was the funniest: Being chased through a house and trying to hold up the pursuit by throwing a plastic laundry basket, the 'urban myth' style story of the eponymous Black Dog told with an attempt at gravitas, or Meat Loaf's bizarre performance quoting random sections of bible-speak not even relevant to his situation.

Oh, the fight between the two figures of authority was risible too. Ooh get me, I'll snatch that piece of paper from your hands. How butch.

Dreadful dialogue and endless shots of gear changes do not a good movie make. The action is laughable and predictable with villains' vehicles exploding on contact and the good guy's rig indestructible.

Don't quite know what made me watch it till the end, but I did.

Very poor and not quite funny enough to make it watchable (again)
