Ned and Tally's patriotic adventure

I have always admired Jennifer Morrison as an actress. I liked her a lot in namely House and Once Upon a Time. To be honest, I doubted her as a director. This is her feature debut, and for a debut i gonna say, incredible work.The directing here is incredible for an indie film and directorial debut. The writing though, not so much.Sun Dogs tells the story of Ned Chipley, a man full of heroism and patriotism. He really hates terrorists, as he always repeats, and wants to be a marine to serve the United States.We're also introduced to a girl named Tally. Her and Ned embarks a journey to catch a terrorist named Osama Bin Laden.The film was pretty good at introducing characters. Ned, Tally and Sergeant Kendrick, they all got well introductions. But when the film starts focusing on only Ned and Tally, it becomes draggy.Unfortunately, Sun Dogs fails to make the story of Ned and Tally to become interesting enough. It does pick up near the end, but the end scenes just felt rather irrelevant to the movie.Apparently the writer of Sun Dogs has no history at all. Sun Dogs is the only credit of her according to IMDB. If this is the first thing she's ever written, then it's not that bad of a script.Sun Dogs is saved by the great direction of Jennifer Morrison and the passable performances of Ned and Tally. Once you remember this is only an indie film, it becomes better.

Like stepping into a wading pool and finding out it has a deep end.

To take such a subject and successfully walk the fine line all the way from 'endearing' to 'heartwarming' without once raising my cynical hackles, is an accomplishment. Like stepping into a wading pool and finding out it has a deep end. Good production; good script; good performances, though the lead actress never quite convinced me that she was as 'dim' as the role called for. A mere quibble.
