A crisp, toughminded action film... The casting of Christopher Walken as Shannon, the leader of the group, gives the film the fuse it needs. Full Review | Sep 18, 2023
The Dogs of War is a 1980 American war film based upon the 1974 novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth. Largely filmed in Belize, it was directed by John Irvin and starred Christopher Walken and Tom Berenger.
Joining action and character is the hallmark of any good war movie, and this "Dogs Of War" fails to do. Shannon takes a trip to Zangaro to investigate the country, a sequence that proves nothing other than that he's a lousy spy and the Zangarians play rough.

Feb 13, 1981 · The Dogs of War: Directed by John Irvin. With Christopher Walken, Tom Berenger, Colin Blakely, Hugh Millais. Mercenary James Shannon, on a reconnaissance job to the African nation of Zangaro, is tortured and deported.
