Summary: If the scenary & music doesn't get you, Tom Berenger will!
Review: This movie ranks in my "top 5 movies". I watch it every time it is on. The music and scenary are fantastic. Tom Berenger couldn't be any better!! Barbara Hershey is perfect and Wilford Brimley is just the right narrator. I cry every time I watch it. This movie lets you believe in the "unbelievable". It transports you back to a time when life held more meaning. Can't wait to put this video on the top of my video library. *****

Summary: The scenery & music is fantastic. The acting is all right.
Review: The music and scenery is some of the most beautiful I've seen in recent years. The pristine wilderness really calls to you. It stirs the wanderlust in you. The calling is so loud that you want the actors and story line to be successful thus overlooking the imperfections in these catagories. Tom Berenger is a very good actor and well suited for this type of story. The lead indian roles are very well done also.

Summary: Gorgeous, magical movie
Review: I watch this every time it comes around on cable. The sub-plot is a wonderfully subtle love story, but you know it's going to happen. The main theme is about two unlikely people teaming up to search for a "lost tribe," each for their own reasons. The scenery is magnificent, the characters are perfectly matched, even the dog is great. Don't miss this movie.

Summary: Modern Day Western With A Century Old Feel
Review: This review refers to the HBO DVD edition of "Last Of The Dogmen"..."Last of the Dogmen" is a beautiful story that takes my breath away everytime I watch it. It's one of those films that even if you start out viewing it alone, pretty soon, you'll find the rest of the family gathered around simply because one glimpse of the scenery,one paragraph of the dialouge,one look at the story and it's got a hold on you. It's a modern Western, with all the romantic adventure of one that may take place 100 years ago. Lewis Gates(Tom Berenger) is a bounty hunter hired to track three deadly criminals who have escaped deep into the "Oxbow" of the Montana wilderness. As he follows their trail, he begins to uncover a 100 year old mystery. One of the clues is an arrow that could only have been used by a tribe of Cheyennes that existed over a century ago.
He can't let go of what the possibilities may be and convinces the beautiful Dr Lillian Sloan(Barbara Hershey), expert in Native American culture, that there may be something incredible out there. Their search begins as they try to uncover the past, and what they find is a way of life too beautiful to be spoiled by modern day man and it is up to them to save it! It's just an incredibly beautiful film that interweaves the search for the past with Gates' own ghosts from his past. The friendships formed,the evolving romance, the cinematogrpahy, the musical score, and the heartwarming story all combined for a wonderful film.
Even "Zip" the dog(played by "Zip"), will be tugging at your heart.Berenger and Hershey worked beautifully together, and Steve Reevis and other American Indian actors were not only wonderful but lent a great deal of realism and authenticity to the film...Bravo! The DVD presents a wonderful widescreen picture, taking in all the majesty of the Rockies. The DD5.1 is very good. The sounds of nature and the modern day sounds of helicopters and such, are quite a contrast to behold in surround sound.The DVD also has some nice features. It may be viewed with the sound in either the Theatrical version, or the Director version. Both are in DD5.1, and the main difference I found was that the Theatrical version has the captivating narration by Wilfred Brimley,and the Director's version does not. There is the option of Director(Tab Murphy) commentary, and it also provides subtitles in English, French and Spanish for those needing them.There are other features that include, cast bios and costume sketches as well. If you liked "Dances With Wolves", give this one a try. I can not say enough good things about it. If you have already seen it, you will enjoy it again on this DVD. It's for Western lovers, adventure lovers, romance lovers and anyone who just wants to get lost in a good story for a couple of hours.It is rated PG(there is some violence and mild langauge) Happy trails and enjoy.....Laurie

Summary: Excellent
Review: I had purchased the VHS of this movie on a whim, thinking my husband would like it. He likes anything "Western". I found myself totally absorbed in this movie. The theme was different than I expected, but I was not disappointed. I would recommend viewing this movie to anyone with an interest in the West and its history. Tom Berenger is one of my favority actors, anyway.

Summary: Last of the Dogmen
Review: A small group of Cheyenne survived the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864, relocated and remained hidden from modern society for almost a century and a half?
That's the question that LAST OF THE DOGMEN poses. Tom Berenger plays a bounty hunter who's engaged to track three escaped convicts in the Oxbow, a multi-thousand square mile area of rugged and unexplored wilderness in northern Montana. Berenger doesn't get his man, or men, but he does stumble across some mighty suspicious looking rider obscured in a fog. Barbara Hershey plays an anthropologist he engages to help him investigate the mystery.
Filmed in Mexico and Canada, this movie looks good. Berenger is appropriately rugged and Hershey appropriately professorish, they have a good Bogart/Hepburn AFRICAN QUEEN chemistry going, the dog is cute.
LAST OF THE DOGMEN held my attention but it didn't make me say `wow'. There's a lot more character interaction than action and things bog down at times. There's are some plot inconsistencies as well - for instance, if the Dogmen capture or kill everyone who discovers their presence, how does Berenger's character escape the first time they see him?
Movies like open with inspiration and require a lot of perspiration before they can close. The idea of a hidden tribe is intriguing. How you go about finding it, and what you do after you've found it, is the trick. In 1937 Frank Capra found the winning formula in LOST HORIZON, while almost bankrupting Columbia in the process. Even though LAST OF THE DOGMEN is listed under "Adventure," I'd put it in the same category as Capra's speculative fantasy. In any event, both are about a retreat back to an idyllic, primitive past. The village as Eden, the wisdom of simplicity, the flight from modernity - call it what you will, it's a compelling fantasy.
