This began so well, a true buddy movie, with a dog. Of course the dog is killed and, for some reason, the police bosses really go to town on Eckhart, hanging him out to dry, so we see the process of his therapy, his coming to terms with the loss, but all the time he's wanting to find the people responsible for his dog's death. The acting was believable, and I was gripped by the action.
All good so far, and we understand his situation of loss, but the plot just unravels and there is a lot looseness to the rest of what happens. Several bad guys are mentioned here and there, and we're not too sure what's happening, but my main issue was the colleague who hates him, despite all the trouble Eckhart has been through, but suddenly in the 3rd act becomes his best mate FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON, and the happy ever after ending seems to happen all of a sudden, like the writers only had another 3 minutes to wrap the story before submission.
It was okay, but nothing special at all.
