    7/10
    Good story set in Outback Australia with a Handsome Dog
    The original Red Dog is a 9/10 film for me, an iconic movie so any further films have a tough act to follow but I think True Blue does well. It's a different take on it, an original story that explores the origins and whilst its not a classic like Red Dog, it's a good film in its own right. I liked all the characters, I liked that its somewhat simple and I just like the story. You can't have enough Outback Australia and Red Dog. I definitely recommend it as good entertainment.
