I saw it last night as well. Your review is spot on, Hammerskjold.
To echo a lot of your own comments: the best parts of the movie involved Will Smith and the German Shepard Sam; the entire huddle scene had my heart racing; the third act was a huge let down.
The psychological damage was portrayed well by Will Smith - those video store scenes mixed a good amount of humor and pity/empathy.
As for the last third of the movie, I won't even comment - the vast majority of my negative remarks about the film are about the end of the film.
All in all, I agree with a 3 out of 5 stars. Great potential, good movie, disappointing end (though not movie ruining).
Cheers,
