While there isn’t a great movie among Dog Man, Companion.
Heart Eyes and Valiant One, all of these have something to offer.
I was the only one in the theater.
Dog Man is a fused police officer and his dog, but don’t let that fool you.
Dog Man is basically just a dog.
This doesn’t re-invent the world of animation but it’s a solid enough option for families.
Plus, Dog Man himself seems like a pretty great dog.
When I say anything else, I’m talking plot, character development, you name it.
But it does do a great job nailing that genre combination.
They then spend the rest of the night trying to avoid a masked serial killer named Heart Eyes.
It’s well crafted enough and the entire cast buys into the overall mood of the movie.
I give this the slightest of slight recommendations.
Companion has lofty goals but ends up not quite taking itself seriously enough.
Instead, it’s the store brand version of Westworld.
This has strong performances from Jack Quaid and especially Sophie Thatcher.
Both have really bright futures.
This isn’t funny enough to be a comedy and not scary enough to be a horror movie.
I was left pretty disappointed and can’t recommend Companion.
The least seen and cheapest made movie of these four wound up being my favorite.
But, you know what?
It’s not bad.
This is about a routine Army mission in South Korea that ends up resulting in a helicopter crash.
It’s a simple enough premise and it’s well executed.
Like, I said this is a very inexpensive movie.
Despite taking place in North and South Korea, it’s clearly shot in Canada.
The lead actors (Chase Stokes and Lana Condor) both make you believe in the material.
This is not a great movie but it had no shot at that.
