This is a poor film, having watched 'Dog' and 'Ruby' recently I thought this would be in the ball park. Wrong. Predictable, weak characters, poor story, and sickly sweet. The dog was good though, that's why it got three instead of two. I like dogs so I'm not going to say the dog was rubbish. Watch Ruby instead, far better film.

I watched this as a random find and the trailer didnt give much away, so I though it could be a good movie. Or at least similar to MAX or other movies that are similar to this. I was terribly wrong. This had the potential to be a good movie. Unfortunately the bad acting by the police force, the blatant disregard for nepotism, mixed with the super unrealistic series of events/concequences throughout the ENTIRE MOVIE completely ruined it. Not only was it a terribly movie but it didn't even convey how smart and talented our military dogs are and what they are even mildly capable of. Which could have easily been done in the first cutscene that they put so little effort in.

There really is very little redeeming that can be said about the movie other than the dog is a beautiful specimen of a Belgian Melanos. The script is rubbish, the acting is subpar, the plot is ridiculous... a complete waste of time.

Filled with cliches, a stupid plot, bad acting, bad dialogue... high school drama students could do 100c better than this and still fail with an F because this deserves a zero rating or less. Thankfully it was free but even then, I felt gipped out of time I will bever get back and anyone that watches it probably feels dumber for the effort they put in.

This thing is worse that a straight to video release, it is straight to the dumpster or landfill.

Thought I was watching a kids dog film from the art work. So much more than that. Abbie Cornish can usually be counted on to give memorable performances and she is really terrific in the film. Reminded me of the old family films I grew up on. You laugh, you cry. PTSD aspect of the dog could have been delved into further. Patrick Muldoon as the sheriff is a scene chomper. A film most families will enjoy. Wouldn't say it is for super young kids.

This movie is one step up from the Room or Samurai Cop. Don't watch it with the expectation that you're watching something serious. The writing is intentionally terrible or was created using Artificial intelligence. It's dramatic & illogical storyline makes this film hilarious and one you cannot pass up. One of the best parts begins with William Baldwin philosophizing about cats being soldiers on the battlefield. The movie starts and ends in two entirely different places and most of it has nothing to do with a Belgian Malinois. The movie may even be considered a psychological thriller to those who partake. Have fun.
