This film consists of three intertwining stories, all involving dogs, and all laced with violence. The first story we're shown, that of Octavio, is excellent. Definitely a "10". If the movie had stayed at this level it might have been the best film of the year, but the second segment is annoyingly bad. Totally ridiculous, bad acting, lame story. The third and final segment is very good. I would recommend seeing this film, but I'd also recommend fast forwarding through the second segment.
