Muzzle (2023)
Sitzen und ansehen
A slightly dark movie about the bond between a K9 and his handler as well as the decay of our society, with homeless people living on the streets addicted to drugs whilst others live in their Bel Air mansions addicted to money and power. All in all quite realistic although we mustn't forget that it is a movie and not a documentary.
I was especially focused on the dog/handler relation since I have trained Malinois for the police and know how close they and their handlers are and I think this movie does it justice. One might think the lengths the main character goes through to find the killer of his dog and to find his stolen dog are way over the top, but it isn't. These dogs are considered family and there's nothing a handler wouldn't do for his dog.
This movie made me think of one of the officers I worked with who, using his dog, had caught a drug dealer. The dealer went to prison but about a week later the officer came to his car to find that his dog had been shot and killed through the window by one of the gang members. The officer found out who did it, found the guy and took him to a remote area and...well, that's history.
Of course the movie has its flaws, we do use German (or Dutch) for the commands but a dog will only listen to who it's been taught to listen to. So just anyone telling the dog to "Sitz" won't work. But it's a movie after all.
Not the best movie you'll ever watch but certainly not the worst either and quite entertaining. So if you don't fancy watching the game shows on a Saturday night then have a seat and watch this.

Give this a wide berth
I can see why someone would say this is an amazing move, the best they've ever watched. If this is the only movie they've ever watched. Because honestly, it doesn't get much worse than this. Anyone giving this more than 5 stars must have some kind of interest in this moving getting a high rating. And anyone giving this 2 to 5 stars is being very generous. After having watched it, I don't feel like being generous so only 1 star from me.
Give this movie a wide berth, I'm sure you've got something better to do with 1h30 of your life. Even watching paint dry is time better spend.
