David Meyer says:
A straightforward, funny and nasty futuristic tale ... low budget, high talent, and constant, deliberate self-referential wit ... smart, cheap trash
I say:
It's difficult staying with this, but almost worth the struggle - the fact that the boy (Don Johnson, well before Miami Vice!) can communicate telepathically with his much wiser dog is difficult to get your head round, but you eventually warm to it and to the boy and dog, they're not as weird as most of the other folk! Somewhat reminiscent of a lot of other films, but it may be (as this came out in 1975) that this came first! Might have worked better with almost no dialogue, just can't understand the point of that damed talking dog. Got a good ending though!
