In this high-flying mission, the pups gear up with jets to stop the Duke of Flappington and save Barkingburg.
Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that.

There were too many irrelevant parts that could have been shortened, and too many characters that didn't advance the plot. Either way, some things didn't add up.
