Ovèrview : A buddy comedy about the mutually life-altering friendship that forms between Channing Tatum and a Belgian Malinois during a wild road trip from Montana to Arizona.
Storyline :The Story revolves around Jackson Briggs (Channing Tatum)living in Montana.Briggs is down and out Army ranger suffering from ptsd after a life changing injury that leaves him unable to join his fellow rangers but he wants to be back in the league .
He desperately wants employment as a contractor with a private security firm. But needs approval from his former commanding officer, Captain Jones (Luke Forbes). Briggs hounds Jones for the recommendation until a unique opportunity arrives.
Riley Rodriguez, a former member of their unit, has been killed in a car accident. Riley’s parents want his beloved service dog Lulu at the funeral in Nogales, Arizona. Jones will sign the contractor paperwork if Briggs drives the dog to the service. Lulu attacks aggressively, shreds everything in sight, and runs away at the slightest sound. The army has branded her as a dangerous animal unfit for service. Briggs takes the assignment. He packs up Lulu in his old Ford Bronco for a journey that will change them both. On the road trip from Montana to Arizona
Briggs and Lulu encounter hilarious supporting characters on the trip. At first, Briggs tries to resist Lulu, who has anger issues. She’ll rip up the seats of Briggs’ car at the slightest provocation and interrupt his love life if another woman gets too close. He gets pretty beat up chasing Lulu and dealing with her wild behavior. The film puts them in awkward situations that strengthen their bond.Little does Tatum know the traumatised dog and him share much in common. Both are sad and traumatised and suffering from ptsd.
Technical Review :Reid and Channing both have directed this movie thats why Dog basically hits every note that one would expect from this type of man-meets-dog story, from the uncomfortable growing period, to the pair becoming best friends. Yet it’s the tackling of the pair’s PTSD with a road trip concept makes it queit a beautiful movie.
Final Words :Dog is very much about a dog finding his master, but it’s also a quite lovely look at how love, friendship, and openness can not only alter your perception of the world, but help one rise above the pains of the past
Ratings : 3.5*/5*
