Hair of the Dog

About This Movie

Hair of the Dog is this intriguing blend of crime and drama that dives into the seedy underbelly of its setting. You've got Alexander 'Lex' Larsen, a drunken detective/lawyer, stumbling through a murky investigation over a stolen bike that spirals into murder. The pacing is uneven, but it adds to the chaotic vibe, making you question Lex's reliability. The performances have this rawness; you really feel the weight of the characters' decisions. And the atmosphere? Gritty and almost claustrophobic at times. It’s unofficially based on Gunnar Staalesen's Din, til døden, which gives it a nice literary touch. It's not polished, but that’s part of its charm. There's a unique feel that sets it apart from your typical mystery flick.
