Danny the Dog (Unleashed) review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 07/26/11
Danny has been kept by the mafia to perform deeds for them. Because of his collar, he is raised like a dog. If it is unleashed, all hell breaks loose. He becomes an unstoppable fighting machine. The story doesn’t revolve around him; it also shows compassion of the human spirit by strangers and the resolution of who his mother really was. Yes some of the scenes are over the top but its casting and morale lesson speaks volumes. Morgan Freeman was superb in his role as a father figure. The action mixed with pertinent background music and luscious scenery was amusing. Jet Li’s acting was stretched here; you can really empathize with him. Overall, this entertaining film had a lot to offer, if only it had more realism to it.
