Suffering from memory loss, a former homicide detective tries to solve a brutal murder that he can't recall. As he pieces together evidence from a decade-old investigation, he soon uncovers a sinister web of buried secrets tied to his forgotten past.
Sleeping Dogs is directed by Adam Cooper which is his directorial debut.
It really seems like Russell Crowe has reached the point in his career similar to how Liam Neeson has. Where they will just accept any given role that's offered to them and a majority of the time they are usually better than the actual material itself. With Russell Crowe that's absolutely the case here with Sleeping Dogs.
Sleeping Dogs is interesting for about 15-20 minutes before it throws every cliche at the wall to see what sticks, the mystery of the movie is constantly watered down as it goes on leaving very little for the viewer to sink their teeth into.
Russell Crowe gives a solid performance, Karen Gillan although not given a lot to work with does the best she can and the movie itself is competently made.
Yeah sorry I don't have a lot to comment on here
Sleeping Dogs is available on all VOD platforms.
3/10 D-
