"Dogs"... commits to the beats of the slow burn thriller in mostly generic form.

There's no doubt Mirica can film the hell out of a location or a character's face but as for telling a fully gripping and involving story? The jury's still out on that one.

Shot in heat-stricken widescreen and unadorned with music or other distractions, "Dogs" oozes tension ...

A modern Western in the best tradition that pits change against tradition and men against dogs.
