    ★ 3/10

    "Non Negotiable" is a movie available on Netflix, but it is not in English, so there is a significant amount of dubbing in the music, film, and storyline. As I began watching, I anticipated a foreign film with depth, but the voiceovers seemed out of sync with the characters. The script appeared poorly written, leading me to wonder if it was originally crafted in another country or if the dubbing was simply comical. The attempt to transform the film into something more than it was resulted in a chaotic narrative involving a poodle and a puppy, which ultimately made it a poorly executed and disappointing experience. I would not recommend this film to anyone due to its lackluster writing and overall execution.
