Good concept, poorly executed.

So, the beginning like.... 5 minutes are all well and good. Suppose it was beneficial to the horrible plot to have the werewolves introduced at the start. This was horribly paced, had literally no logic of any kind in play, practically every poorly acted character was an actual moron, the casting choices are mid-key racist, the plot is all over the place with no cohesion beyond "let's prevent a cure from being made so we can have something even deadlier to kill other people with," and every single bit of CGI looked like it was probably done during 2000. Let's just helicopter drop a werewolf into the airport to assassinate some dude you can literally just hold at gunpoint when he gets back and lock in a room or something. And Hoffman doesn't suspect treachery?!?! The evil brown army dudes are portrayed with absolutely 0 sense of morality and their motivations are 1 dimensional and unrealistic. Also, 'How to Train Your Werewolf,' anyone? You don't even need to get halfway through this movie to spot the bad acting, the flat characters, the blockhead story and just how generally ugly the whole movie is visually. There is honestly no excuse for such poor CGI in 2013. SPEAKING OF 2013, HOLOGRAMS??? Dumb as hell. Don't even bother. Not scary, not interesting, not entertaining. Just stupid stacked on top of stupid and I could've spent the time doing something productive.

I haven't been so entertained since 'Sharknado.' 'Battledogs' is, which I thought wouldn't be possible, a far superior film.The script allows two of the acting professions finest leading men the platform to show the wide range of their craft.I was on the edge of my Lazy-Boy the entire film, gripped in suspense, thrilled by the action and on the verge of tears from the drama.Stars Craig Sheffer and Dennis Haybert have set the bar so high with 'Battledogs' it's unclear why they didn't receive Oscars.I can only think that they so outshone their peers, it was out of pure jealousy they were purposefully not recognized.9 stars out 10, only because the Battledogs didn't bring about a nuclear apocalypse, which they were certainly capable of.

After being bitten by a wolf and given a curse that will turn her into a ravenous werewolf, a woman sides with a sympathetic Army major and a scientist friend to find a cure for the disease before a rogue general uses the creatures as a weapon for the US military.This was a pretty surprising entry that had some pretty enjoyable aspects to it that makes it far better than expected. One of the best elements here is the film's use of real animatronics and puppets for the werewolves that lend the creatures a sense of realism that far off-sets the utterly atrocious CGI which also pops up, but the fact that a lot of it is with the on-set effects makes it more enjoyable. The relentless action allows for plenty of high-energy scenes, including the creatures running loose in a crowded airport with the turned victims rising up as new werewolves to join in the fray as well as a big battle with the military on the streets of New York that has a lot to like. Throw that in with some nice gore and a pretty involving storyline that never really gets convoluted, it's got a lot to like that really makes up for the film's few flaws in it's CGI and pretty bland beginning that never fits in with the rest of the action, causing it to take a while to get going. Otherwise, this was quite fun.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.

But, in this case, it's Dennis Haysbert (currently a.k.a. "the All-State Man") who takes the Donald Sutherland role of a black-ops martinet obsessed with giving Uncle Sam world-wide military supremacy with a unique bio-warfare weapon. And, he does it so convincingly, it's frightening!Unfortunately, that's about _all_ that was frightening. And, the only plot element I would describe as "unpredictable" was Craig Sheffer winding up with Kate Vernon rather than Ariana Richards. Say what?!If they were going to twist the plot like that, at all, the least the writers could have done is have the movie end with Sheffer getting _both_ women!In short? I give this...five stars.
