Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Liz hurley 5/10... mostly for her bod joss ackland 8/10 ... Good acting everyone else ... pretty forgettable... Strange twisted plot to emphasise the "decadence" of the upper class .. who even despise the QUEEN!. Yes, cockneys, toffs and a bit of rough... Burke and Hare ... semi-gay drug lords... RIGHTEOUS justice (no mention of Alan titchmarsh tho). It's all here with colorful red buses and lovely old country houses. Shame about the plot and the acting. Erotic? no!
You keep thinking that the cliches will stop, that someone will show some emotion, that an English word besides 'f...k' will be used to describe something.....but no, no, NO!! You are condemning yourself to a monumental waste of time if you think things will get any better.The plot is so confusing, and then it becomes not even worth the bother to sort out. Maybe Elisabeth Hurley was playing a stony-faced, no-emotion, no-care druggy; or maybe....she CAN'T ACT!!! Whichever, even the coupling scenes (it would be an insult to call them 'love scenes') are amateurish. You don't even care about the torture scenes. Glad I couldn't recognize Claire Bloom...she was probably glad, herself.The lighting is haphazard, the dialogue hardly comprehendible. I wasted $10 on this dog....mad, it was not. Boring, it most definitely was.
It is a true shame that this piece of garbage was the wonderful Jeremy Brett's last film. obviously he needed money to treat the heart disease that killed him at 60 years old.Mr. Brett tries his best but with a script and direction straight out of amatuer theatricals what could he do?
Mad Dogs starts off well-A police raid of a local drug store, but after the first half an hour, it becomes incredibly boring. It focuses on the romance between a hard ass American biker and a lonely druggy.No-one really deserves any real recognition for this, but Jock Ackland is probably better than the rest. Elizabeth Hurley is patchy. In some scenes she does well, but in others you wonder why she is such a big success.Despite a decent beginning and a good ending, this is nothing compared to other British films like Trainspotting, The Full Monty and Face. Rating=2/5
