The Big Dog (out Nov 9) is a wild, dark Aussie comedy about a married businessman whose life quickly unravels when his very unusual sexual kink becomes known. It's a little up-and-down and the ending doesn't quite stick... but the film is to applauded for its unexpected laughs/thrills and quirky narrative. Grade: B.
