After a successful release in the US, the Channing Tatum-starrer ‘Dog’ is all set to arrive in Indian cinemas on March 11. The American-comedy drama road film portrays the bond between a former Army Ranger and a Belgian Malinois dog.
Tatum, who is known for films like ‘Magic Mike’, ’21 Jump Street’ and ‘Dear John’ has returned to the silver screen after five years and has co-directed this film along with partner Reid Carolin.
The film is based on Carolin’s script on a 2017 HBO documentary, ‘War Dog: A Soldier’s Best Friend’.
‘Army Ranger Briggs (Channing Tatum) and Lulu (a Belgian Malinois dog) buckle into a 1984 Ford Bronco and race down the Pacific Coast in hopes of making it to a fellow soldier’s funeral on time. Along the way, they drive each other completely crazy, break a small handful of laws, narrowly evade death, and learn to let down their guards in order to have a fighting chance of finding happiness,’ reads the film’s synopsis.
This storyline is a portrayal of what the aftermath of post-war does to some heroic veterans; PTSD, traumatic injuries, personal and family post-combat conflict, and also the trauma-related anxiety effects on a service dog.
Directed by Carolin and Tatum, ‘Dog’ also features Q’orianka Kilcher and Ethan Suplee.
