UnowPriceless hyped garbage
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
marygreene-895-414606 God, thanks to the man from neighboring house, who told me "Just watch this movie", when we met on the street walking our dogs; thanks to all the people who made this movie, it's great. And thanks to Megan Leavey and Rex. You are the greatest.
CharlieForcesBoss Being a member of the forces this film comes pretty close to how it feels being put in those positions out on the front were it feels like its just you your dog and your patrol. This film grips your emotions, I was shocked to see how the director makes you feel for young Megan and then turns her into an amazing dog handler, Credit goes to the all the actors involved and the director amazing flick and would recommend to anyone who wants that real life army film. absolute classic would recommend to anyone R.I.P Rex
Xana Hendrickx This movie really moved me. This is based on the true story of Megan Leavey which is an unbelievable story, but oh so beautiful. Never a dull moment in this movie. At times it is heart wrenching and at times it is heart warming. I do think this is a story that only dog owners/lovers will understand to the fullest. Enjoy!
MrDHWong Megan Leavey is a biographical war drama film starring Kate Mara. Based on the true story of Corporal Megan Leavey and her bomb sniffer dog Rex, it is a humble depiction of one's love and loyalty for their animal companion during times of war and the desire to find their place in society.After signing up for the US Marines, corporal Megan Leavey (Kate Mara) is paired with a bomb sniffing dog named Rex. Initially, Rex is hostile and aggressive toward any other marine who trains with him, but over time he and Megan form a special bond with one another and he eventually saves her life when the two are deployed to Iraq.The film is respectful to its subject matter and never feels too sappy or sentimental. It successfully shows that not only are humans risking their lives out in the Middle East but also the specially-trained dogs as well. Animal lovers will certainly be moved by the bravery of Rex as he risks being blown up from sniffing for explosives out in the Iraqi desert. Kate Mara gives a solid, believable performance in the title role, and her bonding scenes with Rex always feel genuine. The one major issue I have is that the film does follow the typical formulaic plot of someone sharing a bond with an animal that no one else is able to. However, considering this is based on a true story, it is excusable for the most part.I rate it 7.5/10
