To be fair Hellhound actually makes an effort to be a little original and thoughtful and "sort of" succeeds.
There's a fair amount of decent content, in this admittedly B grade action film. Firstly there's a not wholly original story that still tries to make take a thoughtful moral stance, reasonable acting and well considered exposition.
What really undermines this effort is a lack of overall cohesion. The story simply feels too loose, which, I think, is due in large part, to budgetary limitations.
That said, as it stands the lead hands in a decent performance and the action is well thought out and fast paced.
In summary, not a bad effort for a B flick. The thought put into the script pays off to a degree, whilst the fight scenes are well choreographed and convincing. Worth a look.
