I love this movie so much
Too much of everything
To me, this movie is perfection.
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
God, thanks to the man from neighboring house, who told me "Just watch this movie", when we met on the street walking our dogs; thanks to all the people who made this movie, it's great. And thanks to Megan Leavey and Rex. You are the greatest.
This was a very emotional movie and I feel they did an excellent job with it. War movies are always emotional for me, but the addition of the bond between Megan and Rex made it even more so. Dogs can be such loyal and wonderful animals, they just don't live long enough. It was nice to see Chuck Schumer adopt a good cause for a change. Thanks to Megan and Rex for their service.
The star here is the German Shepherd, Rex, who pretty much steals the movie. Through the years, I have had a few dogs, and many Shepherds. Rex is right up there with Lassie and Rin Tin Tin. The human element is carried by Kate Mara, as the marine who joined the military to escape a life with no direction. The dog gave her some direction in life and they were a team of bomb detectors who were sent to Iraq and both human and animal won medals for bravery and eventually were separated by circumstance. Kate and Rex have excellent chemistry, and although the story is nothing new as far as war films go, in the end I really cared for them and wished for a happy ending. This could have been perfect for family viewing except for one scene outside of a bar after a night of too much beer. Miss Mara needs to use a restroom, but uses a side walk instead. Other than that brief warning and some occasional strong language, I believe that kids can overcome those slight misstep and watch this with their parents.
You can see what the film is about. WATCH IT is all I'd say.Main thing for me was it never got sickly or clichéd. None of the usual tricks were used in this film that are often used in movies like this. It never got "Hollywoody" if that makes sense?It's a film set in tough circumstances and the people were tough in the face of hard times. The balance between this and human emotions was perfect.Kate Mara is simply fantastic in this.First film in a long long time that made me shed a tear or two. Could and probably will watch again
