Alpha Dog is an urban drama following the self destruction of Johnny Truelove (Emile Hirsch) and his gang of friends. Living the thug wannabe's American dream of money, beautiful girls and partying in Los Angeles' San Gabriel Valley - their existence is a heady blur of partying and looking for the next thrill.
When Jake Mazursky (Ben Foster) fails to scrounge up the deal money he owes Truelove, Johnny and his gang react by kidnapping Jake's little brother Zack.
Frankie (Justin Timberlake) takes a liking to Zack as the 15-year-old boy eagerly adopts their exciting lifestyle. The situation complicates as Johnny's dad (Willis) and the boy's distraught mother (Stone) pressure Johnny to release Zack.
Johnny realizes that the "adopted" member of his gang is still a hostage and cannot be peacefully returned. Anything can happen and over the course of three days under the hot California sun, something does.
As the story continues to twist, will Johnny commit bigger crimes and truly become the thug he has always idolized?

This film is immense. Don't shun this film because of Justin Timberlake. I thought that Timerlake would wreck it but he didn't, I think he delivered what was necessary for the role.
The film is a showcase of acting abilities, with magnificent acting exploring how people act when there scared. The standout performance for me was Sharon Stone. Her role was small but effective and extremely powerful.
It's definitely worth the price. And is a good character study. But i would have liked to see some special features.

This is one of my favourite films of all time... i must have watched this about 6 times in the few months that ive had it because each time i see it i am still gripped to the screen. Justin Timberlake is a superb actor and should do more films in my opion. Definatly a must for ever film collection.
