Alpha Dog

Anyone else seen this film starring Justin Timberlake, Emile Hirsch, Bruce Willis and Ben Foster?

Trailer:


I didn't think much when I first heard about it at the time of its release, but a couple months ago I got a chance to actually see it and I was absolutely blown away. The plot is very engaging, and knowing that it's based on a true story only makes it more so. The climax is one of the most chilling and powerful scenes I've ever seen in any film. I was also pleasantly surprised by Timberlake's acting; I really enjoyed his character Frankie. If you haven't had a chance to see this movie, I highly recommend that you rent it very soon.

That's almost EXACTLY what I thought! I had no intention of seeing it, because it looked like one of those movies that would get halfway decent reviews and fall to the wayside after it left theaters.

I saw it on television long after its DVD release, and I was very impressed. I was into it the whole time.

Yeah, it is much better than I first figured. It is a good movie, but the T.V. advertisement just showed Justin Timberlake wearing a ganger hat and trying to act like a bad ass while the big title said, "Alpha Dog." I snickered at it and assumed it is a totally ridiculous movie, but it turned out that it's not.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by how good this movie actually was.
