![]() ![]() Granted perhaps that was the point of the film, to show how useless that culture group of youngsters really were, how that behavior, "Scene" and the priorities there-in were such a waste of space in just about every way. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but the entire cast of characters were useless druggy "Gangsta" trash. IMO each one (and surprisingly) even the poor missing "victim" was NOT worth the waste of oxygen it took to keep them alive. I felt ZERO emotion for anyone in the film. I have to say that there wasn't one single character in the movie (save perhaps the worried mother played by Sharon Stone) that was worth even a second of sympathy. Though the movie is well made, the acting is fine, and it is based on a true story. If you enjoy movies, we have 150+ Movie Reviews right here on eBay for you to browse at your convenience!

Well, we would say Rent It first and see what you think. Most likely a movie we will not watch again, but maybe. Not a lot of action, somewhat "dry" at points, and the mid to end was very disappointing, as we expected a different ending. After watching it, it didnt quite keep our "full" attention, and was less interesting than expected. ![]() Less Than Expected ~*~* 5.5/10ĪLPHA DOG seemed very interesting and caught our attention from day one from the preview trailers, so we ran out and bought it. Small roles for Sharon Stone and Bruce Willis provide suitable support to the young cast, and a thumping rap and metal soundtrack supplies a perfect backdrop to the explosive on-screen shenanigans. Cassavetes plays around with split-screen techniques and nonlinear storytelling, but he remains acutely aware of what his young target audience is seeking from a modern crime drama, not letting the tension drop for a second. The film itself is executed at a lightning-fast pace, with quick jump cuts and on-screen captions that point out who the witnesses in the case were. Covered in tattoos and oozing testosterone, Timberlake revels in his role, and his female following will find plenty to gush over here. The real draw here is Justin Timberlake, and he makes a decent job of his role as a bodyguard/friend to the kidnapped kid. But Cassavetes's film really revs into gear as the cops close in on Truelove's band of outsiders, and they face a tough decision about what to do with Zack. ![]() Indeed, Zack positively revels in his new position, and lives it up with the boys at every opportunity he gets. When a client of Truelove's, Jake Mazursky (Ben Foster), is unable to pay off his crystal-meth debt, the group kidnaps his 15-year-old stepbrother, Zack (Anton Yelchin), who becomes a Patty Hearst-like accomplice in his own abduction. Truelove is a wild 18-year-old who deals drugs for a living and hangs out with his posse, who revolve around a core of Frankie (Justin Timberlake), Elvis (Shawn Hatosy), and Tiko (Fernando Vargas). The cinematic version of Hollywood is named Johnny Truelove and played by Emile Hirsch (LORDS OF DOGTOWN).
