Review of Dog Tags (2008) by David H — 25 Nov 2008

Dog Tags.

Excellent performance from newcomer Paul Preiss who plays Nate, on a life long mission to find his father. Director Damion Dietz does a fine job of keeping the audience into the minds of both Preiss and Bart Fletcher who plays Andy who cannot forget his love for a marine in his past. At first I thought there was a bit too much character development with the other characters but everything fits nicely in the end. I also thought that the scenario of how the two men meet could have been more creative. That entire character could have been scraped in favor of the 2 simply meeting on the road. Wonderful film about 2 men confronting their pasts, finding their path in life and the valuable moments they share with each other on the way. 4 stars.
