Amazon.co.uk Review
An enjoyable low-concept monster movie, IDog Soldiers/I is basically INight of the Living Dead/I with werewolves. A platoon on a training exercise in Scotland, already fed up because they are missing a vital England-Germany match, come across the wounded survivor of a special ops team (Liam Cunningham) that has been attacked by monsters. There's a confused conspiracy angle, with a scheme to sacrifice the squaddies in order to capture a werewolf for military uses, but it's mostly a lost patrol picture with the soldiers besieged in a mysteriously abandoned house in the woods, complete with "pork" stew on the boil. pThe hardman sergeant (Sean Pertwee) is disembowelled early but gruesomely patched up with superglue, letting the sensitive Scot (Kevin McKidd) play hero. A pack of effectively glimpsed IHowling/I-style bipedal werewolves make repeated attacks on the house, whittling the cast down with each invasion. The soldier characterisations are solid cliche, albeit of a British variety rarely seen in horror movies (a highlight of the use of Brit slang is the Geordie shouting "Come on if you think you're hard enough"). The monsters are okay, but writer-director Neil Marshall's strongest suit is his third, as editor, covering for the old-fashioned monster suit effects and making the suspense and action mechanics work. p BOn the DVD:/B IDog Soldiers/I is an excellent DVD package complete with two commentary tracks, a British one with Marshall and the cast and an American one with a couple of producers. Both are interesting and rarely overlap, and there's an amusing contradiction between the Brits who rush over script changes they didn't want to make and the Yanks who imposed a sub-plot they feel saved the picture. Also, a bunch of trailers that amusingly spoof a recent army recruitment ad, deleted scenes and outtakes with optional Marshall commentary, a standard making-of featurette, storyboards and Marshall's short film, ICombat/I. --IKim Newman/I

 so gutted January 1, 2009
firstly its not funny in the slightestbr /secondly for some reason i don't mind b movie american acting but........br /watching the same quality of acting as east enders in movie format is HORRIBLE! the werewolf is so low budget it looks like a tesco value halloween costume the werewolves change when it seems to make a good plot twistbr /br /watch shaun of the dead its way better done or even severance at least that is openly stupid and lamebr /br /also did anyone find the story of people getting sent into the woods as bait with another team trying to kill the monster a bit like predator br /br /i can honestly say i love horror films but this i struggled with
 Avoid if you like serious movies November 30, 2008
Very good and very funny film which does not take itself too seriously. br /br /A change from the usual stalk and slash films from Hollywood
 Six Squaddies, One house, oh and a pack of werewolves November 11, 2008
Ah, Scotland where the free roam, Private Cooper (Kevin Kidd) and his squad of misfits, including the brilliant Spoon set out on a training exercise in the remote highlands but after a SAS trooper is found mauled, the group begin a desperate last stand in a old house against a very hungry pack of werewolves.br /br /The mix of humour and horror make the film a must for horror and comedy fans alike.
Werewolves, one-liners, superglued intestines - what more could you want? November 9, 2008

Every so often, a movie comes along that really renews my faith in the British film industry, and this is one of them. br /br /Set in the remote Highlands of Scotland, Dog Soldiers follows a squad of reluctant British soldiers out on what should be a regular training exercise. However, it's not long before the group stumbles across the remains of an SAS camp, with blood and scattered body parts all that's left of the former occupants. Soon the team comes under attack from what appear to be werewolves, leaving one of their number dead and another badly wounded. With darkness falling, they are picked up by a lone woman who takes them to a nearby farm house. The place is soon under seige by howling beasts, and what follows is a desperate struggle to stay alive until dawn. br /br /The setup isn't particularly inspiring, but what sets this film apart from so many others is the wonderfully dark sense of humour, the memorable characters and the truly sparkling dialogue. Even Tarantino at his best would be struggling to match the one-liners that come thick and fast in this rollercoaster ride of a film, all done in typical tongue-in-cheek British fashion. br /br /Dog Soldiers knows how ridiculous it is, but the great thing about it is that it truly doesn't care. It's a film that's all about fun, a film that sees men taking on werewolves with swords, knives, frying pans, pots of boiling water and even kitchen taps; a film that shows a man using superglue to hold his commanding officer's guts in; a film that gleefully references Zulu, The Matrix, Aliens and A Bridge Too Far. Frankly, it's just impossible not to enjoy yourself when you're watching this. br /br /Nearly every one of the characters is likeable and interesting in their own right. There's Terry, who falls foul of eating too much food before a desperate firefight, with hillarious results; Joe, a football fanatic who spends most of the film trying unsuccessfully to learn the England-Germany score; Spoon, a high-strung adrenaline junkie who takes on a werewolf with just about anything he can lay his hands on; and Cooper, a failed special forces applicant trying to keep a clear head despite the mayhem around him. br /br /It's a shame that this film isn't all that well known today, particularly in the States where they'd probably lap up the distinctly British humour, even if they didn't really understand it.br /br /If I was to level any kind of criticism at Dog Soldiers, I'd say that fundamentally it's really not all that scary. But then, it doesn't need to be. It's not trying to be a chilling psychological horror like The Shining, or a brutal gore-fest like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This is an exciting, funny and entertaining romp - the sort of film that Britain needs to be making more of.

it looks like another brit combat film but it turns out to be good with top action and good actors a wolf film with a bite.
