Sleeping Dogs

Sleeping Dogs is a perfectly decent little murder mystery that clips along at a nice pace and slowly peels away its onion layers to reveal its dark centre.

The acting Is pretty good, Crowe is perfectly cast, Gillan is good enough and the rest of the cast are convincing. The writer/ director is competently done and the film is well made with good production values and nice touches in the flashbacks.

There are movies that it draws from, Momento for the memory loss and every film noir ever.

All this being said, there is nothing about Sleeping Dogs that is fantastic or groundbreaking. It is however good, honest old fashioned film making. More like this please.
