I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Such a frustrating disappointment

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I think the best part of this movie was the acting. We get great performances from Patrick Swayze, Randy Travis, Meatloaf, Gabriel Casseus and Graham Beckel. Also of-mention is Crews' daughter, played by 11-year-old Erin Broderick. She just had a "special something" and lit up every scene with her in it.Swayze plays the part to a "T" of a basically-decent person, just-released from a 2-year prison stint, and is obviously traumatized by both the incarceration and the knowledge that his negligence killed someone. I think his was a socially-important part, because herein, we see the effect of over-working, as one tries to create a decent life for one's family.Randy Travis plays his part well, never over-acting, and always imbuing his words and actions with the sense of calm and humor he is known for in music circles. I enjoyed him in 1997's Fire Down Below, and in The Black Dog, he gets a much more substantial role, and much more screen time. His references to song writing and singing were humorous.Meatloaf is the surprise of the movie. His role as religion-crazed black marketeer plays excellent counter-point to the other, more-reserved characters in the movie. It was great to see Gabriel Casseus (as undercover F.B.I agent). I admired his work in 2000's Bedazzled and would like to see more of his work. I was not familiar with Graham Beckel, who plays the "arms-dealing mastermind" in The Black Dog, but whoever did casting for the movie knew a good "bad guy" when they saw one. Not being a trucker, I'm not sure if some of the driving stunts Crews pulled off are possible.., or not, but the scene with him getting out of the cab and swinging outside the cab over to the fifth wheel to fight a bad guy is definitely something to see. It was definitely Swayze.., not a stunt double.I have never understood how a moving vehicle can hit a stationary object (like a mobile home) and then fly over it, spinning, but the good news is that I don't have to. The Black Dog is a good action movie with a special cast and a couple of important social messages: 1.) Don't fore-close on people's house (and family), because they will do whatever it takes to keep their life. and 2.) Do not demand inhumane hours and effort from your employees, because they could pop.

You get plenty bang for your buck in the on-the-road action joint "Black Dog". Ex-con Jack Crews unwillingly agrees to drive a semi-trailer loaded with illegal weapons from Georgia to New Jersey in order to save his family. While it might be a one-idea action fling, it's got enough gusto and energy making it predictably routine, but still rousing Mack truck ride packed with smashing stunt work that's nothing short than spectacular. Total destruction follows. It's dangerous and it shows (look at the chase through the hills), as the imagery is important due to its simplicity. The script is thick with drama, but this never takes away from the thrills or the build of them. Even though the ending was overly cheery for my liking. Patrick Swayze emit's a natural coolness to his laid-back ex-con character that sure knows how to handle a rig. Then chuck in the villains (hit-men, bikers and FBI) who hound Swayze, where you have the larger-than-life Meat Loaf and the usual twists and turns. Distinguishable, but competently done and very exciting as we get the screeching guitar riffs to remind us that. "That son of a b!tch can drive"

IF you have read the current comment on the film black dog and not yet seen it let me apologise. Black dog, whose title is explained in the most brief of ways in no way ties into the plot of the film although you keep expecting it too, it seems to me a more suitable title would have been "Gone in 60 years" or "too slow to boring". This film is quite frankly a joke, from the shoddy acting with such gems as "Its getting cold (then dies)" to the infamously hilarious quote "Crews Your ass is MINE". On a more serious note the acting in this movie is absolutely appalling and the only reason i would recommend seeing this is if you would want a laugh, i will watch this movie again and again purely for the spoof factor of it, if you are fan of awkward humour and telly bluffs like Garth Marenghis dark place, The IT crowd and other genre related shows and moves you will love this.. the action is spaced out only by terrible dialogue and a over presumptuous pyrotechnics team. Watch out for exploding cars, gun fights out of windows and meatloaf....every word he says is gold.I hope this will give you a more realistic view of "black Dog".

Most people look at Black Dog as a over the top, blow en action flick but this film is fun and had pretty good action. The film is about Jack Crews (Patrick Swayze) an ex con that's trying to find a new life after prison life. His boss offers him a job driving a load across the country, he refuses. After a finding a legal document in his kitchen draw, his wife hid it from him. He agrees to do the job so he can save his house and life hood.Not known to Jack, his load contains illegal weapons that his boss is selling to gangs in the country. Jack gets to the truck stop when meets the boss Red (Meatloaf). Jack chooses the truck he wants to use to pull the load. Jack finally gets on the road with a guy named Earl (Randy Travis) in the passenger seat and two another guys named Sonny and Wes following at the rear in Sonny's car.Soon the trip gets rough and deadly, Red is working for Jack's boss and wants the load. But Jack doesn't give up and wants to put on a fight, soon its a dangerous game of cat and mouse across the country. To make matters worse the FBI and ATF are also on Jacks tale trying to stop him, to grab the illegal load.This is a very fun movie, Kevin Hooks keeps the action non stop as Jack is trying to get the load home. The special effects are fantastic and they really destroyed a number of semi trucks for the movie. The only downfall is the ending, the ending is pretty basic and sometimes even disappoints but apart from that the movie is pretty fun and very underrated. The soundtrack is also a great one.
