The Dogs of War | Year: 1981 Classification: Action/Adventure Directed: - John Irvin Actors/Actresses: - Christopher Walken - Tom Berenger Terrific action adventure film about mercenaries in Africa. Three films have depicted the African mercenary: Dark of the Sun, The Wild Geese, and The Dogs of War. All are great, but Dogs is by far the most credible. The book, incidentally, is even better than the movie. This is truly Walken's best role and must have been the supporting role that gave Tom Berenger his big break in Platoon. Of course it's violent; what else do you expect from a war movie about mercs? Good film, not great Walken revises his role in the Deer Hunter here, playing a mercenary involved in one of those politically torn countries down yonder. Its a good movie, from the early 1980's, but if you have the Deer Hunter already, you wont need this. I am a big Walker fan- i think he is brilliant, but otherwise there isnt much to this film. Still, its one of only a hundred films that I hand picked for my life-time collection. my favorite book in film this could have been the superhit with a better script and higher budget. its still a good movie, but not even remotely close to the quality of the book.<BR>if u liked this movie read forsyth's books the r extremely well written and researched.
