Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Predrag Back in the day, Belushi was the man! Taking Care of Business, Mr. Destiny, The Principal, K-9, these were some of his best movies, in my opinion anyway. Belushi plays a fly by the seat of his pants cop who does not like working with a partner. Until he meets Jerry Lee, a veteran police dog who has seen it all and is even more volatile than his soon to be partner. Belushi is obsessed with trying to catch a drug lord that has eluded him for years. With the help of Jerry Lee, perhaps this time the bad guys will go down. The dynamic of the 2 heroes is perfect and makes a person want to go out and get a German Shepard, or any dog for that matter. This was one of those films that I absolutely loved as a kid, and could watch it over and over, because who wouldn't like a film where a dog can say 'oh oh'? Take the element of the dog away, and you pretty much have a dog of a story though. It's basically the buddy cop movie with a twist, and thanks to Belushi being quite likable, the film manages to be funny whenever the dog is off screen. Support is okay, but it looks like they are just letting the two get on with it.Jim Belushi gives a career best performance as a funny,cool and take no messing cop who doesn't like to play by the usual rules of a police officer and he don't care if he breaks any rules,though he is no nonsense he is a bit of loser who has often lost the love of Tracy and doesn't get much better with the arrival of Jerry Lee even if the dog makes him a better more caring person as the story goes on, Belushi is just marvelous and doesn't get enough credit and seems to be forgotten in the decade of heroes like The Terminator, John McClane, Batman, Indiana Jones, Marty McFly and Peter Venkman (who for me is similar in style to Dooley and Bill Murray would of been excellent too as Dooley), check out "Red Heat" opposite Arnie for a same sort of character for Belushi.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

Panterken K-9 is a typical eighties buddy-cop film...the bad guys are deliciously cliché-bad (take the villains in Lethal Weapon as an example), the hair dues are strange and well...just plain bad, the hero cop is considered 'a loose canon' by his superiors,...K-9 is probably one of the only movies of this genre that is actually very good. Jim Belushi carries the film on his own and his comic performance is wonderful. Of course we musn't forget Jerry Lee, who really is an exceptional dog, in real life too. The humor is witty and so over-the-top that it becomes good again. It's one of those films that's simply impossible not to love ( like Men In Black).I feel great every time I watch this movie and I never miss it when it's on TV. It's highly recommended for everyone, though I think mostly males will enjoy this.8/10

JoeytheBrit One of a number of films from the late-eighties that created a short-lived sub-genre of the buddy movie by making one of the buddies a mutt, K-9 stars John Belushi's kid brother as the wisecracking maverick cop who gets saddled with an eccentric police Alsatian called Jerry Lee while trying to bring down a drugs baron.Of course, the beauty of creating a sub-genre like this is that you don't actually have to change your storyline: the dog could be a professional criminal cuffed to the cop, a novelist carrying out research, or a dental equipment salesman who has unwittingly scuppered the cop's arrest. The changes required to the plot are minor and all can be applied to the same template. The big advantage upon which this film plays is that dogs are cute while most humans are not… Given that it covers no new ground, K-9 is reasonably entertaining without containing the requisite number of laughs to be considered a major success. The relationship between Belushi and his charge follows the predictable route from mutual belligerence to guarded respect to genuine affection, and includes all the situations you would expect from the given scenario: Dog refuses to obey instructions, dog disrupts man's love life, dog poops in man's house, etc. It's all carried out with a breezy sense of fun that is matched by Belushi's performance. Nobody is taking anything seriously here, and this is evident on the screen and probably makes K-9 a better film than it might otherwise have been. Belushi makes a likable hero – he looked for a while as if he would step out from his brother's shadow and become a major film comedian but his career has dipped since the eighties. An even worse fate awaited his canine co-star, a real police dog, who died from gunshot wounds while apprehending a suspect a couple of years after the movie was shot.Director Rod Daniel manages to blend the action and comedy sequences quite well while remaining strictly within parameters set by those who've gone before him and, although he displays a reasonably assured touch here, his workmanlike approach might explain why his film career has also gone nowhere. All in all, K-9 largely manages to avoid the excessive sentimentality that normally plagues this kind of man-and-beast story, and is pleasing enough entertainment for those who don't set the bar too high.

michaelzstuff James Belushi) is a "loose cannon" cop. He has to do everything his own way on his own time and doesn't know the meaning of the word, "team-work" But after he screws up his last bust by buying a car from a car dealer and five minutes later proceeds to crash it into a building where the bad guys are dealing dope, he is assigned a new partner, a dog! To be exact. A rouge German Shepard that wants to be treated more like a person than a dog.Belushi is very convincing and hilarious in his role as a cop, and the dog, surprisingly (I never thought I'd write this), was a great actor and did a terrific job. Hat's off to his handler!There are predictable and very typical cop vs. bad guy moments, but overall I thought the movie was an extremely funny cop-doggy comedy, with a very predictable but humorous ending to it.When compared to other cop-dog movies like "Turner and Hooch," it's a credit to Belushi's comedic timing that this film wound up on the top 250!
