This was a heartwarming coming-of-age drama. Everyone did their job acting well. Particularly the late Blake Preston as Marty. Marty discovers a neglected dog owned by the town drunk named Judd Travers(Scott Wilson) who's determined to get him back. With help from his friends and family, particularly his dad, Marty will do anything to save the dog he named Shiloh.
As mentioned before it's a coming-of-age story and a really good one. What Marty goes through is believable and you 100% sympathize with him on his journey. Judd's an interesting antagonist in that he's not pure evil, just a bitter man who knows no other way.
The supporting cast are good too. J. Madison Wright as Samantha "Sam" Wallace, Marty's friend was enjoyable to watch. I really like the scene where she pecks him after telling her his plan on how to help Shiloh. While it's a boy and his dog story, I feel like it goes behind the typical "can I keep him?" stage. Here it shows what Marty has to go through in order to get his new dog and provide him a better life.
Shiloh's a movie anyone can watch and enjoy. It has great characters, a simply yet moving story, and thought provoking commentary to a degree. I'd give it a howl and see check it out.
