Writer-Director Luc Besson returns with another action-packed thriller that will keep you glued to the screen. Starring Caleb Landry Jones (NITRAM, 2021), Jojo T. Gibbs (CORA BORA, 2023), and Christopher Denham(ARGO, 2012), DOGMAN explores how an individual discovers an antidote to recover from the suffering and trauma of their childhood, even if it means seeking revenge against society.
During his childhood, Douglas endured abuse from a violent father who callously abandoned him to the dogs. Surprisingly, rather than attacking him, the dogs became his protectors. However, traumatised by his experiences and leading a marginalised existence alongside his loyal canine companions, Douglas gradually descends into a state of murderous insanity.
