Muzzle demonstrated itself as exclusion in VOD productions and when you start to watch, it promises more by taking attention to nowadays vices of California through LA as tents occupied Downtown and spread of fentanyl. Twenty minutes were in the rest.
A movie’s cast in wonderful performers. I saw Aaron Eckhart in The Dark Knight at first time and he was useless in acting though whole movie was same as it known. He didn’t impress in his not big role in great John Woo’s entertainment Paycheck. Excellent performance was in unstoppable to be funny a film Thank You for Smoking, which showed that he can be on high. That Eckhart does in incredible living of police officer. Stephen Lang is capable on good performance only in demonstration of charisma as I wrote once. It doesn’t present in Muzzle. Sometimes behavior acts of his character were unexplainable. Nick Searcy is always solid for cast and shows in this films that he can create an individuality for given short time.
A screenplay was thrilling and I was wishful to know story. It was possible to forgive incomprehension, because they didn’t break a plot. Policemen under gun attack when one of them who is a rookie on look cop approaches to drug bags lying in car’s trunk for picking one of them up what will cause an explosion. It would be still nonsense if there weren’t gun shooting. Director and one of scriptwriters John Stalberg Jr. made wrong in putting dramatization in forward of logic. A misfire he does in wish to be innovative with action and makes it rude with fighting of Erchart’s hero with Latino criminal in which nothing can understand through mirror reflection. I didn’t like sound of pulling out pistol from holster in far away camera shot, because it isn’t natural. A big mistake was that protagonist chooses a police dog, which doesn’t listen commands is impossible. 30,000 dollars spent on training and these money use in right way. A main hero finds solution by snap of fingers what is reason to smile. This part of relationship between police officer and dog keeps implausible.
A thing, which ruined story was in that the dog belonged to criminals before and meeting with them, as it does in poor movie, will occur and it will close to the end. There was beginning of Houston. Aaron Eckhart becomes neutralized and sees faces of gangs. Those instead eliminate him or escape – they will drug him and drop out on the street while a dog will keep. Of course, everything that for coming of unlucky streak for protagonist. Police superiors firmly believe that he is a drug user and they willn’t raise obvious suspicion on opposite as well as no reaction on kidnapped police dog. That would be credible in Muscovy-speaking place, because these pathological and evil inhabitants always think in that way, but this America after all which didn’t degrade to this stance. After that Eckhart’s girlfriend will drop him with no point reason, but it could reference on typical instability in woman’s behavior. The next will that the protagonist will be suspended as expected. Everything that was made by director for turn him to rogue, because it always good for dramatization. However, armed activity of lone man willn’t happen soon, because he will walk and talk with psychologist even though the police dog is disappeared, but nobody cares. Nevertheless, it’s already known that the main hero will go (I assume on same place due to I was doing fast forward with movie.) and he will kill everybody. Then, as still with no changes, everything will return to good and even to perfect in having child though lying on a bed and drink champagne is that what is ideal – anyway, no explanation how it will happen, but, I think, there was magic here.
