A bad movie

Honestly, I didn’t expect much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for James Coburn, I thought I might as well give it a shot. Unfortunately, the whole thing turned out to be pretty lame… I mean, as soon as you have Cuba Gooding Jr. playing the lead, you already pretty much know that the whole thing will stink. I mean, the guy was so promising, first in ‘Boy n the Hood’ and he later on won an Acamedy award for his performance in ‘Jerry Maguirre’. Well, since then, most of his movies have been pretty abysmal and 2002 was especially a bad year for him since he also showed up in ‘Boat Trip’, arguably one of the worst movies ever made. Concerning James Coburn, it was just sad that this movie would be one of this last one (he died the year it was released). Basically, it is one of those terribly tedious Disney features, I mean, sometimes their animated features are hard to swallow but their live-action stuff are often even worse. At least, 4 years later, they would make ‘Eight Below’, about the same subject, even starring some of the very same dogs, and even though it was nothing great, it was 10 times better than this. To conclude, the whole thing was pretty bad and it is not worth a look whatsoever.
