Savage Dog (2017): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2017, Savage Dog is an action film directed by Jesse V. Johnson, running about 95 minutes. “Indochina, 1959. The French left. The Americans have yet to arrive. But one man has declered war.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. A story set in Indochina in 1959, a lawless land controlled by the criminal class: Vietnamese warlords and European war-criminals. Den-Dhin-Chan Labor Camp is run by four such dangerous men. The worst prison in the land, it is here that an Irish, former-champion boxer Martin Tillman has made a name for himself fighting tournaments, on which wealthy criminals gamble in high stakes events. When Tillman is due for release, he just wants to return home, but the corrupt forces running the jail will do everything in their power to keep him locked down. When all that Tillman holds dear is taken away in a vicious act of violence, he is forced to confront the men responsible and take his revenge. The birth of a legend.

Who’s in it. Savage Dog stars Scott Adkins as Martin, Marko Zaror as Rastignac, JuJu Chan as Isabelle and Cung Le as Boon, among others.
