“The Call Of The Wild” (**1/2 out of four) was a diverting adaptation of Jack London’s classic 1903 novel about a sled dog trying to find his place in the wilderness of the Yukon who is taken in by a gruff master (Harrison Ford) while trying to escape from a wealthy and corrupt landowner (Dan Stevens). Visually lush and spectacular cinematography by Janusz Kaminski on stunning Canadian locations but story lags after a while and is partially weakened by some obvious CGI work. A mixed bag but still worth checking out overall for animal lovers like me and fans of London’s novel.
