Eine riesige Überraschung versteckte sich in diesem unscheinbaren Film, der einen Action-Krimi und einen echten Redneck-Thriller kombiniert! Ich erwartete einen eher klassischen französischen Schießfilm, aber es ist tatsächlich eine unerwartet harte Angelegenheit, in der das Charisma von Lee Marvin einen genauso verbrennt wie die Hitze mitten in endlosen Feldern, dazu noch in Begleitung einer bunt dargestellten Familie von ländlichen Rednecks. Und was für Charaktere da sind! Eine immer geile, leider schmierige und schmutzige Dame, die Sie nicht einmal anrühren würden (geschweige denn ihre Brüste lecken). Ein unglaublich durchtriebener Loser, der gerne in den Puff geht. Dann gibt es einen Tyrannen, der seine schöne, aber unglückliche Frau vergewaltigt. Nicht zu vergessen sein Bruder, der an Tripper leidet usw. Einfach Elite, was soll ich sagen! Und natürlich Gewalt... viel Gewalt. Der Film hat im Grunde keinen positiven Helden, jeder hier "geht seinen eigenen Weg" und sind alle in der Lage, über Leichen zu gehen. Wenn Sie Hixploitation-Filme oder Redneck-Filme mögen, werden Sie auf Ihre Kosten kommen. Ich werde es nicht weiter ausführen, dies ist einfach ein Fünf-Sterne-Knaller!

As a rednecks fan, I have to give this a decent four stars, it's freaky as hell. The village, the wacky family and the gangsters, everybody's horny, everybody's getting it on with everybody else, the redneck wisecracks, the redneck habits and a bit of perversity, well I just had fun. I was most impressed with the character of the young boy, he was maybe Oscar-worthy, he was an unbelievable brat, but I enjoyed him, the scene where he's hitting on the prostitutes is very funny. Towards the end the film also culminates in a pretty decent massacre, so there's not much to complain about either, the film offers exactly what it should, it's just a pity it's not a horror film, because I missed a bit of the redneck perversion like rape or torture. 75%

To the question of whether Dog Day is an excellent thriller, I answer no. To the question of whether it is fun, I answer yes - it definitely is for me. It is quite characteristic that in the variety of genres that appear in the header of titles on FilmBooster, the comedy or parody genre is often missing, even though the results tend to be closest to it. What Yves Boisset did is exceptionally successful for notorious B-movie makers when they are lucky and have their big day. This film is an incredible piece of pulp in terms of where the entertainment comes from, and it is worth asking whether it was the result of unwanted magic when it all got out of hand for the creators, or if it was a creative intention wherein the crew wanted to do something very crazy and it worked out. Even the opening robbery scene is messed up, both in terms of the criminals and the police force, who act like the famous Keystone Cops. The film alternates between serious moments and downright crazy scenes, and that happens at completely unexpected moments. It is a mixture of naivety, absurdity, violence, fear, and psychologically unbelievable moments. The film is cast with excellent popular actors of the period, and its advantage is that it is absolutely unpredictable. You shouldn't take it seriously and should take it as nonsense that you either like or don't like. I dare say that if such a script, with slight adjustments, were made into a serious film by the Coen brothers in the style of Fargo or No Country for Old Men, it would be fantastic. At times, I had so much fun that I seriously considered giving it five stars, but then I would feel like someone who pees on statues in the park for fun or exposes themselves. This film is simply a typical guilty pleasure for me. Overall impression: 75%.
