BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
cloach The scenario- of transporting guns during daytime along major routes to the same guys who sent you send the guns- is ridiculous. I thought some of the shooting stuff was forgive-able because its a truck- its has many wheels so its hard to stop by shooting at the wheels and the weapons weren't very accurate and the bad guys want the truck to able to transport all the loot away- they think its a lot of guns.But the ending and coda are absurd. The worst organized police sting ever. They get to choose the location and the time and they are actually at the site which is a government site. The "good" guys isn't wired with a recording device. And then they come with lights and sirens. The bad guy could have ditched their guns and then police would have very little evidence- certainly nothing attaching them to illegal guns. The coda is crap with a irrelevant chase- the good guys and family would be in police custody until the whole mess is sorted out- this is the FBI and ATF they are very bureaucratic.
gavin6942 An ex-con (Patrick Swayze) takes a job driving a truck cross country. What he does not know is that the truck is filled with illegal weapons and now he must fight to survive and save his family.This film is given low ratings, and I suspect the reason is that people wanted it to be more than it is. This is the story of a man who has one chance to make a big score, and he is followed by trouble -- explosions and car crashes ensue. If you wanted more than a nice popcorn-munching film, you put the wrong DVD in, my friend.I enjoyed this one. I did have a question or two about the plot that I think was never fully answered, but then I had to refer myself to the previous paragraph: I was expecting too much and should just relax. After that change of perspective, it is a joy.
tzer0 One Actor, Two Musicians & One Black Dog! And more wrecked cars and trucks than you'd want to count. Swazye must run a load of illegal gunsto New Jersey in order to save his home and his family. But he's caught between the gangsters and the FBI. I came in in the middle of this on HBO. It was so cheesy I couldn't stop watching it. If you're in the mood for a trucking flick that is a bit more serious than Smokey & The Bandit or Convoy, this is the picture for you. If you can call this serious, and you can call this Made-For-TV (with extra added violence) type movie a motion picture. Worth a gander is you come in past the exposition. Doesn't really need any. Spoilers? pbbt... It's pre-spoiled. Cheese-O-Licious!
materofvirii IF you have read the current comment on the film black dog and not yet seen it let me apologise. Black dog, whose title is explained in the most brief of ways in no way ties into the plot of the film although you keep expecting it too, it seems to me a more suitable title would have been "Gone in 60 years" or "too slow to boring". This film is quite frankly a joke, from the shoddy acting with such gems as "Its getting cold (then dies)" to the infamously hilarious quote "Crews Your ass is MINE". On a more serious note the acting in this movie is absolutely appalling and the only reason i would recommend seeing this is if you would want a laugh, i will watch this movie again and again purely for the spoof factor of it, if you are fan of awkward humour and telly bluffs like Garth Marenghis dark place, The IT crowd and other genre related shows and moves you will love this.. the action is spaced out only by terrible dialogue and a over presumptuous pyrotechnics team. Watch out for exploding cars, gun fights out of windows and meatloaf....every word he says is gold.I hope this will give you a more realistic view of "black Dog".
