Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

david-sarkies This is a typical Hollywood cop movie, you can tell this when at the beginning a car is shot up with a machine gun and it blows up. I do really doubt that a simple machine gun will cause a car to blow up. I think that it will more likely riddle it with holes and leak petrol everywhere.K-9 is about a cop with a attitude. He is on the trail of a drug lord who is smuggling drugs through Los Angeles. This is the typical cop movie where the drug smuggler is an ultra-rich millionaire and also very untouchable, and even an idol to the community. Dooley (James Belushi) is simply a cop with a very bad attitude and simply has a problem with the human race. This is why I find it strange that he has a girlfriend, and in reality downright unrealistic. At the beginning of the movie he is having a row with her, and honestly he doesn't even seem to want to make it work out, and when things start to fall apart, it is not his fault. Seriously, Dooley really needs to open his eyes and look at himself.He doesn't want to work with a human, but realises that he needs a dog to find some drugs in a warehouse, so he helps out a friend by catching two gunmen, after ramming a very expensive car which he hired using somebody else's credit card, through the front of a house. And the car rental guy lets him get away with it – he was asking to loose that car. Anyway, He gets the dog and the dog turns out to be a lemon. He searches the warehouse only to find a guy smoking a joint, while Dooley is becoming the laughing stock of the warehouse workers.Now the dog is good, a little too human in parts, but good. I love German Shepherds, they are just the most beautiful dogs, so that is why I liked this movie. If it wasn't for the dog then there wouldn't have been much to make this movie. The dog has its quirks, which makes it interesting. If the dog didn't have a mind of its own, nor acted like a human, then this movie would have been nothing. It is only that the dog with an attitude gets stuck with a cop with an attitude that this movie rises above garbage.

Lucien Lessard Narcotics Cop Thomas Dooley(James Belushi) is an unusual off-beat person... who loves to work alone. One day, his boss (Cotther Smith) wants Dooley find an new partner. He decides to use an K-9 named Jerry Lee (Koton), who has the best nose for the drug-busting business. At first, Dooley and Jerry Lee don't get along until they share a few things in common. At the same time, Dooley does his best with his love life (Mel Harris) and trying to bust a prominent socialite (Kevin Tighe). Thomas and his new partner are in for a wild ride.Directed by Rod Daniel (Beethoven's 2nd, Like Father Like Son, Teen Wolf) made an enjoyable if silly cop between an relationship with a man and a dog. Belushi and especially Koton are good in the film. There's some hilarious moments, which this movie is aimed at kids but there's some violent scenes as well.DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an good Dolby Surround 2.0 Sound. DVD features are basically like the original theatrical trailer and cast & filmmakers' bios. "K-9" was an surprise box office hit. But the relationship between a man and a dog came out months earlier in 1989, which it has some of the same premise titled "Turner & Hooch". But i feel that "K-9" is the better film than the other one. But that's up to the viewer to decide. There's some familiar faces in "K-9" in bit parts like Ed O'Neill, Alan Blumenfeld, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Dan Castellaneta (Best Known as the voice of Homer Simpson on "The Simpsons") and William Salder. "K-9" was so popular on video, there was two Direct to Video movies produced... starring James Belushi. "K-9" is a good cop comedy with some genuine laughs. Worth seeing. (****/*****).

MacgyverColumbo If your sitting around have nothing to do go to watch a movie well this is a pretty good one to watch. This is my second favorite James Bulushi movie after Real men. I love the way the movie starts with them shooting up Bulushi's car they always seem to be shooting up his cars in these k9 movies. It's decent action movie with some funny moments. Hey some big dogs humping my Aretha,Oh! I feel good. Belushi's girl friend in this movie is extremely hot I give her a 10. The dogs pretty good in the movie even though I don't really like that type of dog. All around it's a good movie. Bulushi never ends up beating that weird little game he's always playing.

ma-cortes The picture talks about James Belushi a quirky policeman who develops lonely his mission with the aim to track down an important drug peddler (Kevin Thige). The police chief (James Handy) assigns him as couple , a hound dog (Jerry Lee was played by Rando, a 3-year-old German Shepherd from West Germany and trained for 3 months) . They will have to confront deal of dangers while his fiancée (Mel Harris) is abducted .The motion picture is a particular buddy movie because the starring are one person and one dog , the comedy and giggles regarding both of them are interminable . Over 40 dogs were considered but none of the American German Shepherds were deemed suitable . A year-long search was held to find the right dog for the role . The dog chosen , Rando , learned to understand commands in English . There's a previous picture concerning to similar theme upon policeman-dog relationship : ¨Turner and Hooch¨ , both of them are similar , though I think the best results to be the film featured by Tom Hanks.The flick blends humor , action-packed , car pursuits , tongue-in-cheek , it's amusing but there are moments that is a little boring but when the dog appears is enough bemusing . The film obtained success at the box office ; however , ten years later , the same starring James Belushi and the dog (or different dog because had deceased) made a second part what failed and was direct-to-video . Subsequently had a third part that was another flop . The flick will appeal to action comedy buffs and dog lovers. Rating : Average 5'5/10
