Unfortunately, when the dogs are not on-screen, the movie is painful to stomach due to Walker’s atrocious acting and a spectacularly abysmal script...
...whether or not the beautiful Russian returns his feelings, as he hesitates with both speech and movement.

This is a worthy second half to a media-savvy Daily Double...
