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.

An all ages type film. I have 8, 12 and 15 year old kids. Classic family film with strong performances that we don't get very often anymore. I am already a huge Abbie Cornish fan. Tim Rozon and Patrick Muldoon are particularly good. Loved the lead young girl as well.
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.
The script is just sub-par, to say the least. It certainly *does* remind me of those awful, AI-authored clickbait pages.
The sappy, unsophisticated writing and juvenile character creation is some of the worst I have ever seen, and the acting is hardly any better. Effing **Mormons** would likely have done a better job of writing a movie script, FFS, and it would likely be better. If that does not tell you about the quality of this movie, then nothing will. Purely cringe.
I feel sorry for the poor actors who had to put their names to this cinematographic atrocity-especially immediately after having watched "Dog".
Ugh. Revolting. It reads like the worst Hallmark movie of all time.
Sheriff: "This town is not dog-friendly." Who TF even *says* that???
2/10 Would **most certainly** not recommend.

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.
