Review of Megan Leavey (2017) by Carldamnit — 13 Jun 2017

It bothers me that a dog can get more compassion than some of the other human beings in this piece of crap movie. Ramon Rodriguez is hot. Edie Falco's scenes were the most entertaining and I thought hers was by far the most reasonable character in the movie.

Yeah, get a new dog! You wear make up in the desert at war, you must like make up enough to deserve getting that as a present. Stupid movie. Yeah, get a cute little puppy that "wasn't just blown up" as Megan so glibly put it.

Lots of times I laughed cause of how glibly stuff was talked about. Oh, you have physical therapy from the explosion? You don't look like you're in pain at all! Like, she jumps onto the guy, not a care in the world, one second, and the next she's in horrible pain.

Is she supposed to be brave because she can handle so much pain and look like she's not in any pain whatsoever? And I didn't like the way the Iraqi people were treated and what it might mean that a movie like this would portray soldiers as being that aggressive, like them acting that way would be a good thing.

I spent a lot of the movie thinking about how annoying it is that the military presence in another person's backyard might be some woman's coming of age story. And her stupid dog. It's a dog! A war hero? It's a dog.

They have the dogs do that because they're dogs.
