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

Rated: 2/5

"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

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

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

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

Rated: 7.5/10

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.

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.

They blow up a dog. They show dogs being horribly mistreated. Idky they even felt the need to MAKE this “movie”. If you have a heart, skip it.

I don't understand why a lot of critics gave Muzzle a bad review, it's not award worthy, but it is entertaining. I found that for the 90mins it was on it flew by. If you want to pass a bit of time give it a watch, it's better than a lot of recently released movies. Without being outstanding it's still a satisfying movie

DREADFUL. I cannot believe this got a 70+ audience rating on RT. This movie is unwatchable. I was fast forwarding through to end my suffering sooner. Good gawd. Avoid this at all costs. Terrible acting. Feels like it was filmed on an iPhone with terrible AI special effects peppered in. I can never unsee this.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
