Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

the audience applauded

Excellent but underrated film

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I saw this on TV yesterday and I had no idea what it was about as I never seen this film before so I decided to check it out.The movie is based on a true story and its about a policeman named Dan(TV SUPERMAN'S DEAN CAIN) who's dog Ace is framed for attacking a criminal. The owner of course has to try and prove that the dog is innocent and as the dog is suppose to be put down the dog escapes and he tracks down the criminal for what he has done to him.The film was really well put together and the story was nice. I liked the dog as he was adorable and there was an odd scene where I would get very emotional as a lot of animal movies are very emotional to watch.If you never seen this film before then check your DVD store near you or if its on TV again check it out its good.7/10

Fairly enjoyable movie, set in Washington, filmed in Canada. I like the story presented here but was really annoyed by some of the dialog and directing that had characters doing incredibly stupid things at times to advance the plot. But overall it is a feel-good movie.Dean Cain is K9 cop Daniel Harding, he and his "shield" Ace seem to be the best. There has been a rash of domestic break-ins while homeowners are away, and the prime suspect appears to be a thug with a record, Mike Dopud as Torko. But they are having trouble pinning anything on him. Plus he uses a trick to get K9 dogs off his trail.Canadian actress, young Britt McKillip is Julia, Daniel's daughter. She is really interested in investigative things but dad keeps dismissing her. Anne Marie DeLuise, another Canadian, is good as the mother, Lilly Harding.SPOILERS: Ace gets on Torko's trail, but when the cops get there they find Torko's throat gashed and bleeding, apparently from being bitten by Ace. As this is strictly prohibited behavior, Ace is ordered put down. But he escapes and eventually works his way towards home. Meanwhile Julia finds evidence of crimes in Torko's home, while police study video that showed Torko inflicted his own wounds, and Ace was cleared. Torko goes to Julia's home to harm them but dad and Ace independently show up in the knick of time to subdue Torko. Dad learns to pay more attention to his daughter and respect her judgment more. And, mom and dad take that long postponed honeymoon.

This was a wonderful movie for the whole family. There was no profanity and very little violence. If you like dogs, you'll like this movie. My husband said "I don't know why there can't be more movies like that one". It kept all four of us, Mom, Dad, husband and me totally interested right up to the very end. I am usually doing some kind of project while we watch a movie, but my project didn't get much accomplished during this one. We all felt the acting was good and Ace was great. Police dogs have to be very well trained and this one really fits the bill. It would have been nice to know where the story was supposedly taking place. We figured out it was in the State of Washington because they talked about Spokane and Wenatchee but never could figure out where the Harding family actually lived. We all definitely give the movie a "Thumbs Up"

This is a great film for the whole family. We picked it up over Memorial Day weekend and it contains some really wonderful acting (Warning - I've been a huge fan of Dean Cain since Lois and Clark) with the little girl and the dog stealing the show. The premise of the story is that the family must save their dog from a criminal that has framed it for a crime.Although the girl must play a bit of a junior detective to save their dog, there is nothing in it (regarding the dog) that will make the kids cry or anything.The movie is put out by FoxFaith and does have some elements of religion but nothing that is "preachy" or anything.The producers put out a wonderful "Junior Detective Guide" to accompany the film that your kids can play along with on FoxFaith.com Again - I give it 9 out of 10 stars as it has something for the whole family.
