The dogs give the film a touch of class, but as a whole this is forgettable.

"Muzzle" is filled with intriguing aspects not explored meaningfully. There are so many different threads, themes, and plots, even Scotch-taped together in the hopes it will come together. It doesn't.

3/5

It eventually comes a little unglued, and the ending is silly, but, for a while, inventive filmmaking, a committed lead performance, and harrowing realism make this thriller worth seeing.

2.5/5

It’s not art. It’s a movie for a frat-boy weekend night where nobody in the dorm managed to get a date, and so for Frat-house Friday movie-nite, along with abundant pizza and beer -- Muzzle is perfect.

Ultimately, it’s a fresh, gritty take on the broken cop and his dog story.

Eckhart and the dogs stay watchable, though they often find themselves stymied by a story that proves a more difficult obstacle course than the one challenging K-9 officers.

This movie’s description caught my attention but not even 5 minutes in one dog dies… film became as predictable as any Steven Seagal movie, and once again the only ones getting hurt are the dogs O.o

The 2nd star is only because there are dogs.

Your standard buddy cop film but with dogs. Found it to be a little bit boring in places. The ending was a little out of left field also.

A cop trains a dog to help him fight crime and in the process rebuilds his life at the same time. All animal lovers will love this film.

Not Another Police Dog Movie...this does present a more serious approach to the schtick which does make it more believable and that allows for a more attentive experience.
