Review of K-9

K-9 (1989)
7/10
The strange chemistry between the Alpha Dog and the Beta Cop!!
13 September 2020
James Belushi is a case for study, on the eighties he had his peak of his career on many leading pictures, today he was almost forgotten in smallest roles, it means he didn't age well, undoubtedly he was charismatic and funny, K-9 was a smashing success at box-office and had some sequels, the picture itself is rather dumb and silly, in other hand is heartwarming, the chemistry between Dooley (Belushi) and the gripping Jerry Lee is inventive and fresh, the Dog is plenty smarter than the odd Cop, the dog steals the show soundly, at first appearance the Dog has wasn't yet socialized, however he slowly is acquiring a tight connectivity with Dooley, also Jerry Lee is an Alpha dog, thus Dooley is the Beta cop in their interplay, it was put on the script on purpose in order to get the audience empathy for the friendly dog, we ought just forget the usual chasing for drugs dealers displayed in the plot, pay attention on the cutting dialogues between Dooley and Jerry Lee, there's life on it, connivance and a lot of funniest sequence, worthwhile see this quirky comedy!!

Resume:

First watch: 1993 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7.25
