Muzzle is a new action-drama that looks like a cross between Marley & Me, Turner & Hooch, and John Wick. Here’s everything we know about the movie, including its release date, trailer, cast, plot, and more.

Marley & Me is a tragic story involving a dog. Turner & Hooch is about a cop teaming up with a pooch. And John Wick is a tale of revenge, driven by the death of a puppy. Muzzle looks to combine elements of all three movies.

Aaron Eckhart takes centre stage as an LA cop whose police dog is shot dead on duty, resulting in him teaming up with another K-9 to avenge his fallen friend.

John Stalberg Jr. directs from a script he wrote with Carlyle Eubank, and full details can be found below, including release date, trailer, cast, plot, and more.

Muzzle hits US cinemas on September 29, 2023.

According to the film’s YouTube channel, it will also be “everywhere you rent movies” that same day, meaning its going day-and-date.
