Alpha Dog
In a story that seems more criminal and powerful. It is about Johnny Troylov, a big drug dealer who threatens Jake Mazurski, a case that seems to be in large sums for Johnny. Jake responds by storming Johnny's house, but Juni returns to the 15-year-old kidnapping of Jack, Jack's brother. The events begin when Johnny appoints Frankie to be Zach's pursuers and develop a fraternal friendship. Things may get out of control and everything will change.

A lackluster teenage true-crime tale.

Justin Timberlake has what it takes to be a genuine movie star.
January 12, 2007
[Alpha Dog is] intermittently bemused or tragic, but utterly lacking a conscience or a point of view.
April 20, 2007
Stylishly and thoughtfully directed by Nick Cassavetes, Alpha Dog is occasionally chilling, but always absorbing.
November 06, 2010
This inspired-by-reality tale is essentially an emotional snuff film. It's the kind of misguided effort a middle-aged director indulges in when he wants to reinvent himself as edgy.
April 19, 2007
A movie which has been put together with occasional skill but lacks a compelling reason to exist.
February 03, 2007
The worst movie of the year.
August 10, 2007
Cassavetes' film is pure Hollywood fiction and sensationalism mixed with some sense of reality, but hell I enjoyed it a great deal...
April 20, 2007
Nick Cassavetes' film combines an aimless ramble through juvenile depravity in the affluent suburbs of LA and a quite disturbing evocation of the true-life murder of an adolescent boy in 1999.
January 12, 2007
Cassavetes starts to lose the plot at the precise moment he starts keeping exact track of it.
April 20, 2007
Its originality lies in the fact that it depicts white middle-class kids on the loose, calling their women bitches and listening endlessly to violent, misogynist and homophobic black rap.

Alpha Dog is no travesty, but I would trade 95 percent accuracy for, say, 25 percent insight.
