Mara is possessed of a pleasingly pert quality, with big eyes and a sly grin. When she looks at Rex (who, it must be said, is a terrific actor for a nonhuman), there's a feeling of real connection -- they maintain eye contact and she sweetly calls him a good boy. Scenes in which she tends to him are a welcome respite from combat, but they also serve to make their time on the battlefield all the more intense: Dog deaths in cinema are far too common, a route for filmmakers to elicit easy tears, and the battlefield increases the risk tenfold. The drama at home, on the other hand, though based on true events, feels forced. Still, Megan Leavey is ultimately a rarity in Hollywood: a true story of a woman in combat, directed by a woman.
