Mad Dog Morgan

About This Movie

Mad Dog Morgan is a gritty and raw look at the life of Daniel Morgan, an Irish outlaw in 1850s Australia. Philippe Mora captures the chaotic atmosphere of the era with a certain grittiness that feels authentic. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the tension and desperation of Morgan's life as he becomes more of a hunted man. The performances, particularly from Dennis Hopper in the titular role, are intense and visceral, embodying the madness that the film's title suggests. There’s a real sense of danger throughout, and the practical effects add a layer of realism that modern CGI often lacks. It's not just about the action; it’s a deeper commentary on survival and the brutal realities of life on the fringes of society.
