Ace of Hearts

This movie is bad! So bad it's hard to fathom how it could be worse. It's so bad it's funny. It's not even good in the made for tv category. The general premise of the movie is solid, beyond that it's garbage. The acting is so bad I feel uneasy calling it acting. The script is ridiculous and stretches incredulity beyond belief. Towards the end I was wanting to throw things at the tv. It's a cheap production, the sets are lacking, the lighting is amateur, the direction is also amateur. Editing is rough and the music sounds cheap as well. I had to apologize to my family for putting them through this miserable movie. Don't waste your time on it.

I'm really getting fed up with illiterate movie makers. When you START a movie off with BIG BOLD PRINT: "BASED ON A TRUE STORY" and you end it with the very last inch of film in fine print: "All characters and events are fictional. Any similarity to any actual persons or events is strictly coincidental..." ONE OR THE OTHER IS A BLATANT LIE--either that or the people putting this together are totally illiterate.

I saw this on TV yesterday and I had no idea what it was about as I never seen this film before so I decided to check it out.

The movie is based on a true story and its about a policeman named Dan(TV SUPERMAN'S DEAN CAIN) who's dog Ace is framed for attacking a criminal. The owner of course has to try and prove that the dog is innocent and as the dog is suppose to be put down the dog escapes and he tracks down the criminal for what he has done to him.

The film was really well put together and the story was nice. I liked the dog as he was adorable and there was an odd scene where I would get very emotional as a lot of animal movies are very emotional to watch.

If you never seen this film before then check your DVD store near you or if its on TV again check it out its good.

7/10

This was a wonderful movie for the whole family. There was no profanity and very little violence. If you like dogs, you'll like this movie. My husband said "I don't know why there can't be more movies like that one". It kept all four of us, Mom, Dad, husband and me totally interested right up to the very end. I am usually doing some kind of project while we watch a movie, but my project didn't get much accomplished during this one. We all felt the acting was good and Ace was great. Police dogs have to be very well trained and this one really fits the bill. It would have been nice to know where the story was supposedly taking place. We figured out it was in the State of Washington because they talked about Spokane and Wenatchee but never could figure out where the Harding family actually lived. We all definitely give the movie a "Thumbs Up"

This movie is now (8/17/11) playing on Encore Family. I read the description and decided to watch the 1st few minutes to see if it was worth watching...it was. A heartwarming tale of a K-9 Police officer and his dog, Ace, who had saved his life before becoming his partner. The story revolves around the hunt for a serial burglar and the officer's family including 14 year old daughter who longs to become a police officer and gain her father's trust and respect as she plays detective throughout the movie. Ace tracks down the burglar but is accused of violently attacking him and therefore must be put down. It is up to his human family to prove his innocence as he does all that it takes to get back home. And of course there's the burglar who is free due to lack of evidence to take down.

A must see for families and dog lovers of all ages.
