Review of The Call of the Wild (2020) by Axet — 02 Mar 2020
Knowing this was coming for some time but without looking into it being based on the classic novel, imagined an intense thinking man's survival adventure like "The Revenant" and perfect for Harrison Ford as an action swan song of sorts only a rare very few could pull off at that age.
Well, it's not that! From the trailer it was instantly clear the dog is not real and it's a problem even if many viewers don't outright realize it, they'll sense it (it does push the envelope technically and soon you won't be able to tell).
Ford is as usual completely convincing. As legendary a mega star and great actor as he is, somehow he's still under-rated. This movie would rate slightly lower but for a good classical story, however unoriginal.
