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.

Thought there was a reasonable story lurking somewhere in here. A less wooden cast and better production values could've made for a good film. But sadly it was very much B territory. Tim Rozon, so good in Wynonna Earp, was disappointing. Abbie Cornish has done better work, Lola Sultan did well. The dog was definitely the star!

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.

I really don't understand why this lovely film got so many bad reviews. I haven't seen such a beautiful family movie in ages. I'm sick and tired of boring dystopian movies, brutal thrillers and road movies. There's just too much of that lately.

So this was like a fresh breeze to me.

Please make more such dog movies.

Except of William Baldwin I didn't recognize any of the other actors, but was impressed with Abbie Cornish and Tim Rozan.

The young actress who played Alex was great, too.

But the dog was the best in the cast.

I was wondering if the dog got trained by Teresa Ann Miller, but her name did not show up in the end credits.

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.
