一个饱受创伤后应激障碍困扰的前警犬训导员，在家园遭遇暴力侵袭后，被迫与新的犬类搭档联手，深入罪恶都市的腹地，在对抗外部腐败势力与内部心魔的双重战役中完成自我救赎。故事本身并没有错，错的是执行层面的敷衍与苍白。导演似乎把这份“潦草”当作了一种创作惯，叙事节奏僵硬得像预设程序，人物的每一步反应都在预料之中，那种为推进情节而刻意安排的巧合比比皆是，以至于角色所有的“大义凛然”都失去了情感根基，显得空洞... 一个饱受创伤后应激障碍困扰的前警犬训导员，在家园遭遇暴力侵袭后，被迫与新的犬类搭档联手，深入罪恶都市的腹地，在对抗外部腐败势力与内部心魔的双重战役中完成自我救赎。故事本身并没有错，错的是执行层面的敷衍与苍白。导演似乎把这份“潦草”当作了一种创作惯，叙事节奏僵硬得像预设程序，人物的每一步反应都在预料之中，那种为推进情节而刻意安排的巧合比比皆是，以至于角色所有的“大义凛然”都失去了情感根基，显得空洞而悬浮。而所谓的动作与惊悚场面，也仅是类型元素的机械堆砌，人与犬的搭档的情谊内核，最后还是沦为了情节的附庸和噱头。电影从概念到执行都透露出不思进取的倦怠，观众也很难与其表达的关于勇气、忠诚与救赎的主题产生共鸣。电影最终呈现的，不过是一具遵循商业算法、缺乏灵魂与敬畏的类型片躯壳。★ (展开)
