Despite an irritating, tacked-on voice-over narration that somebody must have thought was necessary to make sense of the story (it wasn't), Last of the Dogmen is actually a very moving and magical film. Tom Berenger plays a Montana bounty hunter who helps an anthropologist (Barbara Hershey) search for the descendants of a Cheyenne tribe who disappeared in the 1870s. What the two find in a remote mountain stretch is an entire community of Cheyenne who have kept themselves cut off from the modern world. A Dances with Wolves parallel emerges as the white outsiders gradually fit in, but Last of the Dogmen stands up just fine without comparison to any other films. As in Kevin Costner's Oscar-winning movie, however, there are ways in which this film captures a similar sense of yearning, mystery, and loss. --Tom Keogh

 My Favorite Movie January 8, 2009
I love the narration in the movie. It's a wonderful voice. (The voice is that of a heartwarming actor, by the way.) I can't imagine the movie without it. It wouldn't be as special when I think of "canning" it. I got the movie as a gift for my daughter since she's living away from home now and it is also a favorite of hers. I've watched my copy over and over. It's a real special movie.

last of the dogmen December 20, 2008
I had previously had this movie and lost it....I really enjoyed the plot but still can't see what good that it added to the movie to have wilford brimley telling this as a story....the story tells itself.....i think that if this could have really happened in this day and age, that it doesn't need someone narrarating it...it just seemed to detract from the plot itself, otherwise i would recommend it for anyone who enjoys a western yarn with a little twist
One Of My Favorites In My Collection Of American Indian Movies December 3, 2008
Last Of The Dog Men ranks right up there with Dreamkeeper for me. This is a beautiful film to look at.With a great story and musical score. Like a great book,it grabs you from the beginning and carries you through till the end. The acting by all,is superb,as well.
How it treats the issue of this last surviving tribe is especially respectful and satisfying.
Once viewed,the scenery will never be forgotten. I don't believe anyone could be disappointed in this film.
