Ripped from the headlines and hurled to the screen with more hopped-up energy than insight, "Alpha Dog" is standard-issue tabloid fare pimped out as a serious true-crime saga. Based on the events surrounding longtime fugitive Jesse James Hollywood and a kidnapping that went pointlessly, tragically awry, writer-director Nick Cassavetes' sprawling dramatization recklessly blurs the line between reconstruction and reality in ways that are admittedly interesting, if more than a little artistically suspect. Curiosity in the real-life story, boosted by publicity relating to Cassavetes' own entanglement in the legal proceedings, could draw moderate returns for the New Line release. 13 years ago -

This isn't a great film, in acting and so forth, (apart from Anton Yelsin) but leaves you cold at the end. Such a sad story, wish it had been given more justice.
Justin Timberlake was surprisingly good! 9 years 3 months ago -

The surprise in this movie was how well Justin Timberlake played his role. He really nailed the clueless, over eager, young gangster wannabe.
I thought this movie was well done. It wasn't completely true to the actual events, but what movie based on a true story is? 10 years 11 months ago
