Truly independent genre flick

Where Sleeping Dogs Lie was an enjoyable thriller with an offbeat sensibility that I really enjoyed and would like to see more of in the indie film world. The grittiness and genre flair was refreshing for a film coming out of Sacramento, CA. It focuses on bad people, worse people, and situations that just go downhill- perfect recipe for an interesting crime movie. It almost feels like a throwback from the late 90s, early 00s American Independent scene.

The story had an interesting structure, there were some great turns of phrase in the dialogue, and the three leads- Janzen, Miller, and Koponen- put in some strong performances. After a great early reveal, the midsection does slow down a bit for my taste. But it picks up a great energy in the third act, leading up to the finish.

The production values often showed the seams of the low budget, but that didn't bother me because the story was good. And there is something pure and exciting about seeing a group of filmmakers' raw early work before they have too many resources at their disposal. It shows the truth of what they have to offer, and this film is no exception. So make sure you catch writer/director Josh Pierson and the rest of his team early!

It is inspiring to see movies like this get made, especially when they are made outside of Hollywood completely. Looking forward to what this filmmaking team does next!

Great!

It was a great film. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. The story line is great, the actors were great, and overall it was great! It was the best 5 bucks I've ever spent, and that itself is great! If you think about not seeing this film then you would be greatly mistaken.

Don't sleep on Where Sleeping Dog Lie

Once in a great while a film is brought to your attention that you know, just by seeing a trailer or poster, the heartbeat of the film is pure and the lifeline of the entire cast. Where Sleeping Dogs Lie is that kind of film.

I watched this at a theatre in Oakland and immediately knew I was in for a fun ride. The opening dialogue reminded me of Reservoir Dogs opening scene, however with Sleeping Dogs, it was a one man show... but briefly.

The film was gritty, hilarious when appropriate and solid plot holes that made it fun to watch. The quality was decent, it's indie so if you expect Hollywood acting or film grade you're looking in the wrong place. However, if you want something fresh, fun, gritty, good acting, solid plot, and overall a film that has heart and attention to detail, Where Sleeping Dogs Lie is the beast for you.

I highly recommend it.
