From Luc Besson, the French director of 'The Fifth Element' and 'Lucy,' comes a canine-centric revenge thriller that star Caleb Landry Jones can't quite tame.

At their best, Luc Besson’s films occupy a different plane. His action-thrillers “The Professional” and “Lucy” may be set in our world, but the veteran French director seems to place them in a parallel realm, one powered by the loopy, escapist pleasures of movies themselves. Maybe that’s why, when he has ventured into more overt fantasy terrain like “The Fifth Element,” it has never been a perfect fit. For Besson, the ordinary is suffused with sufficient strangeness.

Lincoln Powell plays Doug in the flashbacks, the most crucial being one in which, as a boy, he angers his volatile father , whose unorthodox approach to parenting involves locking his child outdoors in a cage containing several dogs, animals who become his found family. After a grisly altercation with his old man, Doug eventually breaks free — but not before his dad leaves him short a finger and with a crippling spinal injury.
