The film, which is based on a true story, stars Amell as a US Marine who is killed while fighting in Afghanistan. His trained service dog, Max, is sent stateside and adopted by the Marine’s family.
Josh Wiggins play’s Amell’s younger brother, Justin, who deals with his brother’s death by taking care of the dog. The dog is incredibly hostile at first, however. As one character explains in the trailer, “Animals can come down with post-traumatic stress the same as people can.”
Rickards and company had a little punning fun with “Arrow's” regular cinematographer who has shot over 30 episodes of the CW hit.
