adonis98-743-186503 Based on the true life story of a young Marine corporal whose unique discipline and bond with her military combat dog saved many lives during their deployment in Iraq. Well directed, well written and well acted 'Megan Leavey' benefits from terrific perfomances from Kate Mara, Tom Felton, Common and e.tc and the friendship between Megan and Rex was so inspiring and tear jerking plus despite if you're someone who loves animals or dogs in general you won't be disappointed from this terrific War, Drama, Biography and Mara gives her best perfomance yet. (10/10)

Reno Rangan From the director of 'Blackfish'. It could have been another fine documentary, in the end it was a right choice to be made as a feature film. This is a biographical film, a war drama. The story of a young woman who joined the US army and developed a close relationship with a military dog. They both served in the Iraq war and later separated. So she fought for the dog's custody, especially after it retiring from the service. A touching story about man- animal bonding. You might have seen many dog films, but this is different and so good.People have rights to choose what they want to be. Most importantly, they can change the field at any time. At least that's how things happen in a democracy. But that's not the case for animals, especially human pets under any kind of the ruling system. Why should animals fight human wars! There were many kinds of animal slaveries abolished, yet this kind of legal things still going on. In the present world, it could be okay, but as an animal lover, I hope in the near future, it'll be called inhumane.Anyhow, this is a must watch if you are a pet/dog lover. If you ever had a dog, you will feel more connected to it. The story was told from Megan Leavey's perspective, but Rex, the dog was the real hero. Both, the real and film dog. I have seen many films of Kate Mara, but when it comes dominant performance, this is the one. This is not a multi- star cast as her most of the film, so she did an awesome job. Slightly emotional too, a good film for all ages. Particularly this is a chic film that's not a romance or a comedy. Equivalent to any men's films.8/10

kkuff As a female Army retiree, I was pleased with how this movie portrayed a female in combat. At first she was told females could not go out on patrols but she proved herself and they began to rely on her. The bond she has with Rex is incredible. I'm not sure how much of the "based on a true story" aspects were true, but it was well done.HOWEVER, as a veteran I noticed some flaws. When she was medevacked in the movie, they used a Huey helicopter. Hueys were not used in Afghanistan, according to a medic that was there at the same time Megan Leavey was there. Maybe that was the only helicopter they could get for the movie.There were some other things too but I don't want to nit-pick. Overall, it was a really good movie and, as a dog lover and former animal shelter volunteer, I cried when she couldn't adopt Rex, initially.I highly recommend this movie to anyone thinking of watching it.

justinv-90907 Beside the actual true story, I think this movie was one of the few these days, that actually had my attention 100% of the time. The reality of it, the little bit of action, and the acting alone just had the perfect touch. I think there should be more movies like this, the more a movie can be down to earth and realistic, the better. This shows you struggle, and the day to day grind of many people today. Life is tough, but when you stop trying to find yourself, and start creating yourself, you'll see that, the only thing that was in the way was you. This is a movie to own for sure, and to watch more then once. One of Kate's best.
