I first tuned in "Black Dog" when Jack Crews (Patrick Swayze) explains the circumstances that imprisoned him. The moment looked like it might be part of a blue-collar drama about a working man dealing with the stigma of a fatal accident and felony conviction. The mature Swayze could have crafted a convincing performance in such a role. Black Dog represents a fatigue-borne hallucination (and a real pit bull) in this movie, but it's also a slang term for depression.
Hope that the movie might be psychological was soon dashed as chase action ensued in which all that seemed to be missing was the General Lee. At least we see a deluxe-type Dukes of Hazzard, aided by authentic location imagery and an earnest cast. As action films go this one steers well clear of the turkey farm, but it misses the A-list by a mile.
