I have vivid memories of reading Anthony Neil Smith's HOGDOGGIN'. I started reading it in my Holiday Inn Express hotel room, near the Madison Square Garden in New York, carried on in the taxi to JFK Airport, into the plane and finished as we landed back in Montreal. I did not let it go once. I even carried it to the bathroom with me. It was everything I was looking for in a novel : violent, heartless and oh-so-cynical. I gave it my crime novel of the year award back then.
Now, thanks to director Paul Von Stoetzel and Killing Joke Films, HOGDOGGIN' is becoming a feature film. That's right. This trailer premiered at Noir @ The Bar: Twin Cities, two weeks ago and now it's available for you sinners to see. It's a story with bikers, paranoid federal agents, lonely housewives with too much time on their hands and these are only the good people. Seriously, HOGDOGGIN' is a great time. It makes SONS OF ANARCHY looks like ROSEANNE in comparison. Now that it's available on film, you have no excuse not to look it up. Start with this trailer.
