A Major Disappointment
Dynamixor
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This movie is now (8/17/11) playing on Encore Family. I read the description and decided to watch the 1st few minutes to see if it was worth watching...it was. A heartwarming tale of a K-9 Police officer and his dog, Ace, who had saved his life before becoming his partner. The story revolves around the hunt for a serial burglar and the officer's family including 14 year old daughter who longs to become a police officer and gain her father's trust and respect as she plays detective throughout the movie. Ace tracks down the burglar but is accused of violently attacking him and therefore must be put down. It is up to his human family to prove his innocence as he does all that it takes to get back home. And of course there's the burglar who is free due to lack of evidence to take down.A must see for families and dog lovers of all ages.

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

I have to admit that any film that features a dog runs the risk of turning me into a water works, because nothing gets me like dogs. I ordered this movie from On Demand because of the dog plot line and while it is a little corny and lacking in logical elements, I have to admit I enjoyed it. And anyway, it was all worth it for the great moment when Ace comes running across the yard, breaks through the glass door and takes down the bad guy. I was cheering, which woke up my two pooches who then barked till the end of movie.It did seem like they went to put the dog down rather fast. I think that you would be required to have a hearing or something first. At least, I hope so for the sake of all those canine doggies who risk their lives to help people. And while German Shepherds aren't my favorite breed, Ace was adorable.Watch it for the fun.

I really cannot imagine Dean Cain without tights. Every time I saw Dean, I thought about him busting out his Superman spandex costume and flying around with the dog. That would have been entertaining and made for some good laughs. No, instead we are treated to the most unoriginal and fatally flawed dog movie I have seen in a long time.Dean has a dog, whom is his partner in the K-9 Unit of his local police force. He encounters a man, whom is believed to be a serial burglar. The dog takes him down, but gets blamed for an attack because there is no proof at the time to the crook and his involvement in the current crimes. You can guess the rest after that.The whole movie is corny. Why couldn't they view the video footage until so late in the movie? Why did they let him go so quickly when they suspected him in a wave of crimes? The police can hold people for 24 hours at least until they view material in question. But no, it just gets ignored.Of course, everything turns out super in the end. There are hugs, awards given, and Dean Cain smiles. But I didn't see anything other than that that made it worth watching.Overall, this is a bad movie. Even Richard Karn and Kirk Cameron can do a better job than this. Dean Cain should be ashamed of himself. "F"
