3.0 out of 5 stars Cool movie, January 3, 2005

RJD (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dog Watch (DVD)

Dog Watch is a decent thriller/drama. I'm a Sam Elliot fan,so I enjoyed this film alot. Sam is perfect in the role of tough-guy detective Fallon. I compare this movie to an evening of jazz music: smooth and slick.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sleeper worth your attention..., April 16, 2008

Tristram Shanty "Eclectic Reader" (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dog Watch (DVD)

This is a sleeper indeed, well worth your attention. While the script
is somewhat lacking, the direction and acting are superb! Elliot has
never been better; Esai Morales is credible and straight forward; and
the supporting cast, including Paul Sorvino, are spot on. In the crime
genre, it's a more realistic look than we're often afforded in terms of
the police world. And some of the scenes are unsparingly honest in
portraying a cop's difficult life as he maneauvers a morass of morality
and illusions -- some his own, some not of his making. Well worth
watching!

3.0 out of 5 stars Minor but passable, June 30, 2006

By 

Parisonn of Atlantis (Minneapolis, Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dog Watch (DVD)

This production never quite overcomes its straight-to-video quality, but it's well cast -- even in the smaller parts -- and sticks to its plot in an efficient though unimaginative way. Praise goes to the writers and director, as well as to Sam Elliott himself, for refusing to make Elliott's character likeable or "misunderstood." Also thanks for giving Elliott a bare-chest scene. Even at age 51 (or thereabouts) he still looks good when he strips to the waist and shows off a torso that's never been subjected to a make-up artist's razor.
