  1. Be forewarned: Dog Days, like many of Seidel's films, will drive some moviegoers to rage and walkouts with its unrelentingly depressing tone. But it also a remarkable, deeply disturbing work by a brilliant filmmaker.
  2. 80
    The believability comes from the casting: he has found a group of actors and nonprofessionals who interact spectacularly well.
  3. 75
    Dog Days has much in common with "Code Unknown" -- both dart among several characters who may occasionally cross paths.
  4. 50
    It is admirable and well-made, but unutterably depressing and unredeemed by any glimmer of hope.
