The Bulldog

January 1984. Upon completing his Cold War fencing film, director Charles Crowe confines himself to a screening room for twenty-eight days, obsessively perfecting the final shot until an old friend's visit forces him to confront the buried guilt that has kept him in isolation.

Directed by Vito Guzzo, The Bulldog leans on a strong ensemble — Haver Muss-Nichols, Michael Lake — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 0.
