This was a strange movie. Hawke and his dog were a cute and likable pair.....too cute and too likable. At first it seemed like a family movie but that changed. I felt that Hawke's characters emotional isolation (apart from his relationship with his animals) could have been expanded upon. That could have been interesting. Everything else in the movie was quite predictable. Whilst the movie had quite a few negatives for me I still found it entertaining and it was an enjoyable summer 'veg' out watch for me. What's not to like about a very clever lovable dog, the loving human and dog bond and Ethan Hawke's face. He is very suited to Westerns.

I enjoyed this series. The thrills start with the very first scene. Fantastic scenery and thrilling plot. Some characters could have developed more such as the prosecutor but overall I thought it was great. The scenery is fantastic.....the starkness surprised me. The sub plots about the french detective and her emotional and physical struggles and her relationships was interesting though at times frustrating to me. I'd like to have known more about the prosecutor the prejudices against him and his relationships. It was left open to the last few episodes and the chase to try to find and stop whodunit. There are surprises however right up to the end.
