Granted Nagarajuna hasn't had a good film in a while. But, why does he tend to choose roles of either maverick policemen, maverick investigators or maverick soldiers? What is it about a job that grants a gun and a team that makes Nagarjuna happy? Is he wanting to return to action? If so, why just this avenue? There are so many stories he can choose from. He's Nagarjuna! The problem with Wild Dog is that it's ineffective from the word 'go'. The writing is lazy and reminded me of an early 90s made-for-TV film starring Peter Weller (I think).
Coming back to Wild Dog. The acting is lazy while the action feels uninspired. The CGI is so 90s while the BGM seems to have been taken straight from first-person shooter games. There is not a single character that sticks in your mind.
When I was watching this film, I was reminded of Payanam, a superbly crafted thriller surrounding a plane hijacking. Nagarjuna plays an NSG in that film and his role in Wild Dog is no different from that, except for the fact that Payanam had far better writing. Wild Dog just isn't wild anymore. I don't think it's even a dog.
