It was a good movie, and parts and very graphic and parts very moving and touching. The girl and the dog steal the show...truly a remarkable job done by the Doberman Tripoli and his trainer (who trained Lassie, also). It is supposed to be based on a true story, so just ignore those who are complaining that the ending is improbable...it isn't. As someone who as owned and trained Dobermans, the ending was quite expected. Trust me, these dogs do not forget those that threaten their inner circle family.
Travolta does a decent job, but his character is not the least bit liable until the end. He is a recovering alcoholic whose wife died of a drug OD and was the sister of a mobster who also fights dogs. I won't go any further...but it was incredible that the dog tracked them that far (although a Dobie once tracked a man 1300 miles and is in my old Guinness Book of World Records). A good movie and very underrated. I saw it under it's American release of "The Tender." And if you search Youtube well enough for Doberman movies you will find it.
