Red Dog was a beautiful movie based on a true story of a dog who travelled the entire continent of Australia in search of his master. A lost dog is adopted by people of Dampier in Australia who slowly brings together the community and changes the lives of the inhabitants. After his master death , red dog wanders different part of Australia in search of his master. Red Dog is based on a true story and is adapted into a novel of same name. I have always loved movies on animal and since it comes to a doggie story , it is a must watch on my list. The movie begins on a flashback note of how a dog came into a community of miners in Dampier, Australia and how it changed their lives. Though , he was loved and liked by all , John(Josh Lucas) was his ideal master. Circumstances changes and John dies in a tragic which leads Red Dog to go out and search the entire continent of Australia to look out for John. The story is very touching and heart-warming however it is the direction and screenplay which lets you down completely. The direction is lack luster with loop holes in the screenplay. The first half is completely out of sync but it is the second half which catches your attention. I am sure this movie would have made wonders if the direction could have been handled with maturity. The dialogues are just about OK with superb eye- catching cinematography and nice background score. None of actors leaves a mark in terms of performance. More so ever , it is the dog who has been chosen to play the role of RED DOG is better in the movie than the actors. Overall , the movie will be liked and loved by the people who have their pet as dog. Truly , this movie depicts a beautiful message that dogs are indeed a man's best friend. Above average 2.5 / 5
