Timberlake Shines!Review created: 08/03/07

Justin Timberlake breaks out of the Boy Band and into the Movies!! Alpha Dog is Based on a True Tragic Story of how Things can spiral out of Control quickly when Dealing Drugs are involved. The Opening scene begins with a Gathering in a Lavish Suite of the Young Drug Lord. This scene sets the Tone and Hierarchy of the Close Circle of Friends, some of whom are obviously just the brainless leg-men. The Plot Thickens when a Large Deal with a Drug User/Distributor outside of the circle of friends turns south when the debt cannot be repaid. The Kingpin devises a diabolical plot to strike revenge against the Deadbeat User by Kidnapping his Innocent Adolescent Brother. One thing leads to another and Justin Ends up being the "Babysitter" and befriending the Kidnapped boy even letting him party and hang out with him at parties unrestrained. My Heart went out to the Naive Boy who actually had chances/offers to escape but decides instead to hang out with his Newfound "Friend". Knowing the Conclusion of the Movie was inevitable it was Sad watching a Young Boy Live, Love and Learn his Last Day! The ending was very Moving watching the Tearful Exchange between the Victim and Justin.
The Performances of Justin and the Kid were Sensational. They put you actually in the moment of the Tragic Events. Justin is full of Tatoos and Often shirtless which only adds to this Truth Based Tragic Story!! I recommend this movie to be watched with the whole family as a Very Valuable Lesson about Drugs and Misplaced Loyalties can be learned by all! Thank You for Reading!! Happy Ebaying!

*~*~ A So-So Movie. Less Than Expected ~*~* 5.5/10Review created: 03/24/08(updated 03/24/08)

ALPHA DOG seemed very interesting and caught our attention from day one from the preview trailers, so we ran out and bought it. After watching it, it didnt quite keep our "full" attention, and was less interesting than expected. Not a lot of action, somewhat "dry" at points, and the mid to end was very disappointing, as we expected a different ending.
The movie was "Inspired By True Events".
Most likely a movie we will not watch again, but maybe. :)
Our Overall Rating: 5.5/10

A TRUE FBI STORYReview created: 04/12/07

I just saw this @ Sundance. The people leaving the first screening gave this bad buzz so I was sceptic as to what I was in for. but Since I got a ticket @ face value I went on in. Much to my surprise this turned out to be a good flick. I'm tired of the happy hollywood endings and prefer something more real. Well, this was based on a true story! Bruce willis was his typical self. Sharon stone was great, especially at the ending! The only reason I can think why the first screening gave it bad reviews was, the people were parents, & were relating to the errors that the parents in the movie made. If you want a happy ending, rent something else. If you want to see what really happens when people make bad decisions in life then you should like this.

Sex, Drugs and Violence With Justin TimberlakeReview created: 12/02/07

Alpha Dog (2006) is a movie about a bunch of filthy mouthed punks who get themselves into a bunch of trouble by trying to settle a score. Or, it would seem so at first glance. And, when you start watching Alpha Dog your first reaction, as mine was, might be to think Can any of these idiot actors do anything besides cuss and act like fools in this stupid film?? And then, if you can get past the ridiculous trash talk and the feeling-like-you re-at-a-frat-party vibe, (and that very well be a big if ), you ll see a movie that actually has an all star cast and some well done acting. Alpha Dog is...

What Happens When Rich Suburban White Teens Have Too Much Money; or Havoc 2Review created: 12/09/07

There is something wrong with American, the American dream. This generation of young people has seemingly lost it way, thrown off course by too much idle time, too much affluence, and a way too lax moral compass. What is the blame for this cesspool? What has happened to America? We are fast becoming a society ruled by random violence and lack of respect for the law, civility, or life. Enter Alpha Dog, a kaleidoscope on incivility, drug, ransom sex and violence set in the backdrop of sunny California. In many ways Alpha Dog reminds me of Havoc (2005) starring Anne Hathaway; that movie too...

Near the beginning of "Alpha Dog," young men lift weights, flash tattoos and talk trash. What's going on underneath the male bonding is a revealing display of the group's pecking order. This is pack mentality, and no matter how much they party together and despite all outward appearances, there are rules to follow and roles to play. "Dog" is a story of what happens when individuals make moves outside their established comfort zones. The story appears to revolve around Johnny Truelove (Emile Hirsch, "The Girl Next Door," "The Lords of Dogtown"), a drug dealer who seems to have the world by the.

Johnny Truelove (Emile Hirsch) controls the drugs on the well-manicured streets of his neighborhood. Where Johnny goes, the party, the girls, and his loyal gang (Shawn Hatosy, Justin Timberlake, Fernando Vargas) follow. When he's double-crossed over missing deal money by raging hothead Jake (Ben Foster), Johnny and his gang impulsively kidnap Jake's little brother, Zack (Anton Yelchin), holding him as a marker and heading to Palm Springs. With no parents in sight, they grow used to having the kid around, and Zack enjoys an illicit summer fantasy of drinking, girls and new experiences, much to.

Basically a story about a spoiled son of a connected guy who sells weed. He gets in over his head when a guy he hired to do a job for him winds up owing him some money. He kidnaps this guys little brother, but doesnt think ahead about what he is going to do with him. It starts out that this is the best thing that ever happened to this kid, he got away from his over bearing mom, he is hanging out with the cool kids, drinking, smoking, girls. But the guys that took him soon realize just how serious this situation is, and now they have to figure out what to do with this kid. I went into this...
