Dogman is a 2023 French drama thriller film written and directed by Luc Besson. It stars Caleb Landry Jones as Douglas "Doug" Munrow, a man who suffered abuse from his father as a child but finds solace and purpose through his love of dogs.
The film depicts Doug's life through flashbacks as he tells his story to a psychiatrist named Evelyn (Jojo T. Gibbs). It shows his traumatic childhood, time in a juvenile institution, and later life using his pack of dogs to steal jewels and precious objects while also protecting people.
Dogman was selected to compete for the Golden Lion at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, where it premiered. Critics gave it mixed reviews, with praise for Landry Jones' performance but criticism of the uneven storytelling.
The film explores themes of psychological trauma, the contrast between human cruelty and animal loyalty, and how Doug's connection to his dogs shapes his life. It was released in France in September 2023 and the US in March 2024.
