Dean Cain

I really cannot imagine Dean Cain without tights. Every time I saw Dean, I thought about him busting out his Superman spandex costume and flying around with the dog. That would have been entertaining and made for some good laughs. No, instead we are treated to the most unoriginal and fatally flawed dog movie I have seen in a long time.

Dean has a dog, whom is his partner in the K-9 Unit of his local police force. He encounters a man, whom is believed to be a serial burglar. The dog takes him down, but gets blamed for an attack because there is no proof at the time to the crook and his involvement in the current crimes. You can guess the rest after that.

The whole movie is corny. Why couldn't they view the video footage until so late in the movie? Why did they let him go so quickly when they suspected him in a wave of crimes? The police can hold people for 24 hours at least until they view material in question. But no, it just gets ignored.

Of course, everything turns out super in the end. There are hugs, awards given, and Dean Cain smiles. But I didn't see anything other than that that made it worth watching.

Overall, this is a bad movie. Even Richard Karn and Kirk Cameron can do a better job than this. Dean Cain should be ashamed of himself. "F"
