Dog: Channing Tatum's Return to Acting Praised by Critics
The early reviews for Dog have arrived, and they almost unanimously praise Channing Tatum's charming performance.

Besides cameoing in two episodes of the Apple TV+ murder mystery series The Afterparty, Tatum will follow Dog (which comes out February 17), with the adventure film The Lost City on March 25, in which he co-stars with Sandra Bullock and Daniel Radcliffe.

Tatum also stars in the film as an Army veteran who is tasked with transporting an unruly Belgian Malinois across the country to attend her owner's funeral. The film, which was written by Carolin, also features Jane Adams, Kevin Nash, Q'orianka Kilcher, Ethan Suplee, Emmy Raver-Lampman, and Bill Burr. Dog is also notable for being part of a new crop of films that was shot entirely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
