Cath Clarke Guardian The dogs give the film a touch of class, but as a whole this is forgettable. Rated: 2/5 Nov 13, 2023 Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com "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. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 29, 2023 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media 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. Rated: 3/5 Oct 29, 2023 Full Review Mark Jackson Epoch Times 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 25, 2023 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Ultimately, it’s a fresh, gritty take on the broken cop and his dog story. Rated: 7.5/10 Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Robin Holabird Robin Holabird 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.

Allan C Aaron Eckhart plays a K-9 police officer whose dog is killed on skid row. Eckhart then investigated who was responsible for his dog’s death. This is not JOHN WICK, even if the plot sounds that way, but it’s a very gritty cop drama and felt very credible. The depiction of skid-row homeless camps along city sidewalks was the most realistic I’ve ever seen committed to film and looked exactly like those when I walk around my own hometown downtown. The filmmakers make great use of practical locations throughout the film, which also lend to added level of realism. Additionally, the film’s depiction of police procedures and cop attitudes seemed more accurately portrayed than most films. Of course, I’m not a cop and have no idea if it’s accurate, but it seemed more real to me than most movies. Another major strength of the film is Eckhart, who is compelling and believable as the film’s lead. Where the film falls apart somewhat is the investigation into who killed Eckhart’s dog, which got overly complicated and bordered on conspiratorial (like it was some 90s Seagal film), which made the otherwise very realistic film feel less realistic. I read there is a sequel in the works, which based on this film’s strengths I’m excited to see, but hope they use a plot more grounded in reality.  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Alexandria M Whoever made this movie has a real issue with dogs. I mean 5 dogs died in the most brutal ways possible.like check on the directors animals/family because that dude has serious issues. With that being said the movie itself was a let down, stupid story, bad acting & multiple murders against animals. I do not recommend. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review BigDeez C If you can figure out what this movie is about then you’re a step ahead of me. Aaron is a great actor but, writers don’t give him much to work with here. Numerous different plots, none of them are advanced in any meaningful way. As much as I would like to tell you the critics are wrong, can’t do it because they’re right. Just not much to recommend. Better off seeing the other dog movie with Channing Tatum. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Moni K I enjoyed the overall idea of the movie. The female dog is so pretty what a great trained pup they found for her part. Aaron is good as a cop, struggling to be a normal adult after war and loss. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Danny H Very linear and simplistic movie. Nothing clever going on here. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review Jarrod W A good watch, the dogs are great, and the storyline is original. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
