Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

benjamin telushkin Wow, this is one of those films where after you watch it you can't get your mind off it. The atmosphere is so great, and the plot is so dark. The idea is so twisted, but really only to our eyes. It may seem twisted but actually, it is an interesting thought we should except. No, dogs aren't killers but do we really know what's going on in our dogs head. Is he really just wagging his tail and running around not thinking about anything else. Don't think I am crazy, I don't think dog's have such advance ideas, or maybe they do. What I am saying is their thoughts are probably much more advance they we may think. It's something we should think about.

paclar To start, the young boy in "Baxter" gives a highly credible, palpably evil performance as the young, Nazi-obsessed boy who comes to own this very strange pitbull suffering from existential dilemmas. The movie is also helped by the sense of dread hanging over every scene with the dog. If you've been trained to be wary of pitbulls, this movie will freak you out.The whole thing adds up, however, to little more than an exercise in morbidity. While it accomplishes that goal very smoothly, there isn't much else to recommend "Baxter." The rest of the characters aren't very well fleshed-out, and the dog's endless yammering is laughable.4/10.

philomise-2 I thought this movie was wickedly delicious at times, but at the same time is was downright depressing and had that feel of a car accident that you know you shouldn't be watching, but you keep your eyes glued to it anyway feel.Perhaps I'm a fool, but here's my major complaint: I could not tell that this was such a dark movie just from the box. I picked it up at the video rental store thinking it would be some kind of cute flick about a dog doing social commentary. The box neglected to mention that it was a sick existential journey into the mind of a sociopathic pit bull who lives only to serve himself and destroy others.I'll grant that the movie was hilarious in one part where Baxter is shown a baby and he comments on how disgusting this "bag of flesh" is. With lines like, "I thought they were trying to apologize to me for this mess they had conceived," you can't help but crack up. As for the rest of the movie though, I found myself shifting around uncomfortably a great deal more.

Batdad I stumbled on this film at the video store quite by accident: I have long had a weakness for bull terrier dogs, whose other-worldly appearance makes them perfect for off-center stories (see Tim Burton's early film "Frankenweenie," books "The Land of Laughs" and "The Garden of Abdul Gasazi"), and I understand the director's choice of the breed to embody his bleak vision in this remarkable film. The video package copy used the word "disturbing" three times, and the film IS disturbing, but also distinctive and beautifully realized. NOT for kids or casual movie rentals (not a "date" movie). And: make sure it's subtitled, not dubbed.
