This month, we’re shining the spotlight on the action thriller Muzzle 2: City of Wolves. If you’re a fan of good dogs, heightened suspense or the nuanced acting chops of Aaron Eckhart, this sequel film is the right pick for your next movie night.
What is ‘Muzzle 2: City of Wolves’ About?
Muzzle 2: City of Wolves picks up after the events of Muzzle (2023), carrying forward the drama and stakes of the original. In Muzzle, we met ex-LAPD K-9 officer Jake Rosser, who spiraled into grief and obsession when his K-9 partner Ace was killed on duty, plunging him deep into Los Angeles’s criminal underworld as he chased the truth.
In City of Wolves, Jake is attempting to move on: he’s now a dog trainer, living with his family and a retired K-9 named Socks. But that fragile peace shatters when a ruthless gang (linked to the cartel Jake tangled with before) attacks them in a brutal home invasion. Jake is forced back into action with a new canine partner, Argos, to protect his loved ones. What unfolds is a gritty, vengeance-fueled journey through a dangerous drug-trafficking underworld, where Jake must confront corrupt officials and his own lingering demons.
