Marcello the dogman is acting superb. His acting is the only strong thing in this movie.
How come that in a small deserted and poor village where everyone seems to be a looser are owing dogs ( expensive breads mostly) and bringing them to dog care shop...
Very poor and simple story with marcello and simone , slow but still tensed scenes ending with predictable vengeance..
