Review by unofficial reviewer
Nice enough film about a secret robotic dog that escapes and bonds with a teenager as his "person". The special effects are good enough, the story is ok, the acting is ok and it is entertaining enough with good action. Very watchable and entertaining, but not one that I would watch again.
