While “Dog” showcases Channing Tatum’s range and vulnerability, offering a glimpse into the bond between a man and his dog, it occasionally plays it safe with its cinematography and soundtrack choices. However, its strength lies in the portrayal of healing and transformation, both human and canine. The film navigates the complexities of adapting military skills to civilian life, delivering moments of humor and warmth. Despite its uneven tone, “Dog” leaves viewers with a sense of optimism for its characters, promising for both the wounded warriors and their story’s narrators.
