Review of Alpha Dog (2006) by Brendan F — 11 Jul 2014
Surprisingly powerful film with strong performances from a huge cast of recognizable faces. Gritty and unsettling how far this "kidnapping" goes which hits home at the end when the audience is told what happened to everyone involved.
It's a fact based drama surrounding a middle class drug dealer and his gang of 20-ish friends who kidnap the teenager brother of a client who owes them money and refuses to pay. Some big surprises in the acting department from a very likable Justin Timberlake and Anton Yelchin.
Ben Foster is F'n crazy but awesome, he impresses me the more I see of him and Sharon Stone -wow, crazy in the fat suit. as an FYI The F-word and its derivatives is said 411 times. 7/11/14.
