Excellent but underrated film
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
If you are one of the people who finds "According to Jim" great television comedy, this is going to rock your world. And might I add, kudos for proving that good talent, good writing and a charismatic star are all you really need on any network other than ABC, which prefers to air crap like Jim Belushi's show year after year."K-911" is a big, steaming, brown, German shepherd-sized "thank you" for all of the geniuses who loved the first movie. It's exactly what fans of that film and the lesser Belushi deserve. Jim's comedic chops and choice in projects are never far behind his ability to butcher a blues standard. Look for him to try to showcase all of his diverse lacks of talent into every project he hurls at the public like a surly zoo chimpanzee.If you enjoy Jim's work, this movie is your reward.
Could have been worse, but Christina Tucci's attempts at dutch were ridiculous....Anyway, James Belushi is always watchable, and Jerry Lee is as amazing as usual.Script is rather weak, but a couple of good oneliners are definitely present..
Ten years after the first movie, James Belushi, one of the most gifted, and over looked light comedic actors of the last twenty years, returns as Detective Dooley for this movie.If you are expecting more of the same from the first movie, you will be disappointed, but this is still a good movie. Realizing that all the Dog vs. Man battle of wills scenarios had probably been used up in the first movie, this one turns slightly more psychological in its approach as it concentrates on a criminal with a fixation with Dooley's recently deceased wife after she rejected his book, and blames Dooley for her death.The script may not be the best, but the movie allows both Belushi and Christine Tucci to show their good acting ability, while still retaining enough of the light humour of the first movie to make it work, and the chemistry between the two stars is there for all to see.An easy, light going movie, which, while maybe not worth a purchase unless you are a true fan of either the first movie or Belushi, definately worth a watch when it comes on TV.
Usually, a sequel is the result of a film that was highly entertaining, leaving us wanting more. SILENCE of the LAMBS would be a good example, as are the STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES sequels. So, why K-9? Did the first one work us up enough to warrant a sequel? Was the chemistry between Belushi and Jerry Lee the stuff that dreams are made of? Please!!!!!This film hashes up some plot about a writer stalking Belushi because Belushi's ex-wife (now dead) had some interest in his writing. The stalker blames Belushi for the death. A game of cat and mouse ensues. Throw in a female cop with her own dog, Dutch, and let the fun begin. Unfortunately, there was no fun to be had.The film tries to be cute and funny, though I found it to be awful-funny. You know, so awful that it was pretty funny someone would greenlight this picture into production. The film depends on Belushi to carry the humor, though I found him irritating in a Gilbert Gottfried type of way. If you're under ten years old, you'll probably dig Belushi's wacky, over-the-top comedic performance. And if you like this film, might I recommend another comedic epic disaster masterpiece, KRIPPENDORF'S TRIBE. On the Steveo Cheese Scale from Yanni to Carrot Top, Carrot Top being best, this film ranks a solid Corey Feldman!!!!
