Review of Alpha Dog (2006) by Marsha K — 14 Jan 2010
This movie is one that has stayed with me. Justin Timberlake and Ben Foster are great in this movie. I like that this movie did not glorify the criminals but told the story without really taking a side.
The story is a tragedy but there are light moments along the way. I really got emotionally invested in both Frankie and Zack's characters. I was on the edge of my seat by the climax. I thought the directing style was very different, but I did not feel like it took anything away from the quality of the movie.
Overall I liked this movie a lot. I agree with other reviewers that said Sharon Stone in a fat suit was kind of distracting at the end of the movie. The make up was not very good, but that was a small part in the entire movie.
