The DVD Buff

Alpha Dog released on Tuesday

Alpha Dog looks to thrill

Alpha Dog came out on Tuesday, and honeslty, I’m on the fence a little about this movie. On the one hand, it looks like a great story line, it’s based on a true story based on Jesse James Hollywood, a drug dealer who turned out to be on the youngest people ever on the FBI’s most wanted list. On the other hand, Justin Timberlake is in it. I know people on here have mixed opinions about Justin Timberlake, some like him, and some don’t. I for one, don’t like his music, but it looks like he could be playing a decent role in this movie.

The rest of the cast is pretty decent. It includes Bruce Willis, Emile Hersch (Lords of Dogtown, The Girl Next Door) a bunch of other random up and comming young actors. The director Nick Cassavetes (who is also an actor, see: Blow, Face/Off, & Matlock LOL!) has also directed such movies as The Notebook and John Q. I haven’t gotten a chance to see this movie yet, but from what I heard, it’s pretty decent. I’ve heard mixed things about Justin Timberlake, I get the feeling people think he ruins it, but I think we can pull off the white trash drug dealer role. What do you guys think?
