Aasif Mandvi brings a little humor in Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank as Ichiro. A film that covered all its bases with humor and action. 

The Synopsis 

A hard-on-his-luck hound Hank (Michael Cera, “Superbad”) finds himself in a town full of cats who need a hero to defend them from a ruthless villain’s (Ricky Gervais, “The Office”) evil plot to wipe their village off the map. With help from a reluctant teacher (Samuel L. Jackson, “Pulp Fiction”) to train him, our underdog must assume the role of town samurai and team up with the villagers to save the day. The only problem… cats hate dogs!
