Megan Leavey (2017)

best movie i've ever seen.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Great story. Great movie all in all, seeing the effort that was put in to get the dog back was something that is pretty inspiring, the dads speech to her before the time she does start working hard to get it back, I will warn you will want to make you work towards any goals you have! Ha But all in all a rollercoaster of emotions, with a great movie and a great story

Although I have gotten emotional over films with dogs as a central part of the film before, Megan Leavey is the first canine centric film I've watched since I became a dog owner myself, and it became an extremely moving experience.There's no denying an impact a dog can have on someone's life. For Corporal Megan Leavey, it was the military K-9 German Shepherd, Rex, who changed her life. The film covers many years of Leavey's time as a K-9 officer with Rex as they save lives uncovering bombs and other dangerous explosives. There are some typical military sequences that set up Leavey as a sort of, mess-up and misplaced character, but for the most part, the film is a unique and inspired take on one section of the military.Complemented by a solid supporting cast, the real heroes here are Leavey and Rex. Like any great relationship, there are ups and downs. But there are a few indicators that the bond they share isn't something that can be easily quantified, and that made it truly special. Sometimes people are made for each other and sometimes certain dogs are made for certain people. It's just the way it is.Kate Mara plays Leavey brilliantly, as she so often does with characters. She's one of these under the radar actresses who always seems to bring their A-game. And if not for the fact that I was looking for a movie about a dog, I probably would have forgotten about watching these trailers last summer. The film itself flew under the radar, but I'm sure glad I checked it out.8.8/10

Beside the actual true story, I think this movie was one of the few these days, that actually had my attention 100% of the time. The reality of it, the little bit of action, and the acting alone just had the perfect touch. I think there should be more movies like this, the more a movie can be down to earth and realistic, the better. This shows you struggle, and the day to day grind of many people today. Life is tough, but when you stop trying to find yourself, and start creating yourself, you'll see that, the only thing that was in the way was you. This is a movie to own for sure, and to watch more then once. One of Kate's best.

SPOILER ALERT well made movie & beautiful acting by Kate Mara the movie talks about a marine girl who fall in love with a dog while she's in the service. good ending the she adopted him, but the ending could be better if Megan and the marine man get back together
