Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
freakfire-1 Chuck Norris is known for his moves, winning martial arts skills, and Texas Ranger. However, this is not something he will be remembered by and for good reason. This movie has to be the worst I have ever seen him in.Norris is a lone detective. However, he is chagrined to find out he has been assigned a dog for a partner. And somehow, that dog helps him fight off the Neo Nazis from blowing up three local religious leaders on Hitler's birthday.The Neo Nazis come off as just being idiots with guns and somehow Chuck Norris defeats them with his fist and not a gun. The story never explains itself as to why this group exists, why its operating along the US/Mexico border, and how does it not fight Norris with guns when they need to.This wasn't done very well. "D-"
Frank Markland Chuck Norris stars as a cop who gets a K9 partner and then proceeds to kick white supremacists' asses all over the place with the help from the ugly pooch. I assume that Top Dog was meant to be a barrel of laughs and after all who hasn't given us more laughter then Chuck Norris? I mean we will never forget the way Firewalker made us feel. However the dog, though meant to be lovable, is to me a gigantic pain in the ass. The stupid dog is begging for donuts, stealing food and supposedly finding clues. Chuck Norris is even worse as he is supposedly a rough and tumble cop complete with a messy bachelor pad. Once again Norris isn't funny and neither is the dog. Although Top Dog did have 1995's most awkward moment of the year. That is when the dog attacks the pope and nearly kills the man add in the factor that people are killed and people yell racial slurs at regular intervals. Of course racism, blood thirsty violence and physical attacks on religious figures makes for great entertainment for the little tykes. After all we seem to embrace the children who go ape and starts shooting up their schools...So why not market a movie at a younger age so little tykes can wipe out the popular kids at a younger age. It's a genius plan, after all how cool would it be to return to your ten year reunion knowing that eight of the popular kids won't be attending due to your 4th grade shooting spree. Those crazy kids... * out of 4-(Bad)
hemandmas This was the best movie i have ever seen in the last 25 years. It's plot and acting is excellent. Kept me on the edge of my chair the whole time except when i was falling down due to the great witty humor of Chuck Norris. I would suggest this movie to anyone. It also posses' a great anti-racist theme. Certain hilarious scenes included the scene where the super smart dog steals Norris' chicken resulting in a great response from Norris, "That's my chicken you mangy mutt!" I was also taken back by the horrifying, true to life, depiction of racist factions in the United States. I shook in horror as the racist leader shot a manikin depicting an ethnic person, yelling, "That is a miss! This is a hit!" I saw many striking parts of the plot like the Neo-Nazi attempt to blow up a building on Hitler's birthday. Through pure genius Norris discovers their intent and foils their plans. This movie is pure genius and i'm sure it will excite audiences for years to come!
emm Never since ALADDIN (1986, Bud Spencer) has there been a movie on drugs designed for family audiences young and old. And what makes a "family" movie? A scrungy old mutt and a boy on a bike! There's more, too! Chuck Norris gets to have a faithful companion who can outwit and outsmart terrorist scum! It's got a mass overload of everything your kids would appreciate! Fiery explosions, handguns, criminal organizations, the Pope, and bomb threats add more to your viewer-friendly pleasure, and...... I'll stop right there! Unless you can't handle what's in store in TOP DOG, please don't pick this one up! The combination of violent action with family-based material is an outrageous atrocity one will not want to believe. It suffers miserably on originality and plot, making this your cookie-cutter actioner. Mommy won't approve this flick to Johnny and Sally, even if it is rated PG-13!
