We have to give a shout out to JT himself as well. He puts so much energy into his performance and for me is the star of the show. Ben Foster is absolutely maniac and brilliant as Zack's big brother who starts all the mayhem that unfolds. It's a really good film with a great ensemble cast full of good performances. I can definitely see why he shaved it all off in the end!Īlpha Dog as you'll soon find out doesn't have the best of reviews but I feel this is a time the critics definitely got it very wrong. It is a bizarre feeling to see him with hair again here.

In all honesty Bruce doesn't play a massive part in this movie but it's worth having him in it just for his opening lines. I fully got my Die Hard nostalgia with him uttering that iconic phrase that he made famous playing John McClane. I mean when a film starts off by interviewing Bruce Willis's character and he describes someone as a "Jerk off" you should know it's going to be a pretty decent movie.

Overall, Alpha Dog is a very good drama/crime pic and a personal must-see for film buffs. There's a big theme of bad parenting in this movie. What's also fascinating is that it depicts real life young adults behaving like trashy black gangster rappers. And that's probably because it's based on a true gruesome story.

It's interesting how this film manages to be very fun and also sad and disturbing at the same time. It's filled with good actors like Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster, Anton Yelchin but most notably Justin Timberlake, he was my favorite actor in this flick. I found Alpha Dog to be a very entertaining movie.

It deserves more between three and a half stars and four stars but I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt.
