Sleeping Dogs Summary
Director: Terrance Odette
Genres: Drama
Two men dealing with personal demons and familial strife play a game of cat and mouse in this independent drama from filmmaker Terrance_Odette. Jarrod (Brian_Stillar) is an alcoholic whose health is failing him and whose relationship with his family has been in sorry shape for years. Jarrod's severe diabetes has recently cost him his sight, and while spending his days in a hospital ward, Jarrod discovers his younger brother has turned his dog over to the pound, where the animal will be put down in a few days. For years, the dog had been Jarrod's closest friend, and he decides to visit his pet one last time. However, Jarrod's doctor believes his patient is in no condition to leave the hospital, and orders Thomas (Tony_Adah), an orderly, to keep an eye on him. When Jarrod escapes in pursuit of his dog (and a stiff drink), Thomas gives chase, though he has plenty of issues of his own to deal with. Sleeping Dogs received its world premier at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival. Mark Deming, Rovi
