Only Dogs Run Free

About This Movie

Only Dogs Run Free dives deep into the dark waters of trauma and morality. The lead, a lawyer grappling with his past military experiences, confronts the harrowing reality of betrayal as he testifies against an old friend—there's a weight to those scenes, like you can feel the conflict. His wife's struggle adds another layer; she's a social worker trying to help a family in distress, yet her own life spirals into chaos. The pacing feels deliberate, which might not suit everyone, but it allows the heavy themes of loyalty, guilt, and the fragility of happiness to emerge slowly. The performances are raw and evocative, pulling you into their tangled lives. It has this gritty, almost unforgiving atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.
