Johnny Truelove, drug dealer and son of a underworld figure, threatens Jake Mazursky, an explosive head case who owes Johnny money; Jake responds by breaking into Johnny's house. On impulse, Johnny and a couple pals kidnap Jake's 15-year-old brother, Zach. Zach's okay with it, figuring his brother will pay the debt soon. Johnny assigns his buddy Frankie to be Zach's minder, and they develop a brotherly friendship. Zach parties with his captors as things begin to spin out of control. Group think, amorality, and fear of prison assert a hold on the pack. Is Zach in danger?
Leave your thoughts about Alpha Dog.
| Supercala.comJohn VenableOutstanding work from a young ensemble. Ben Foster steals the show in an over the top performance as an a**kicking, always-in-trouble, speedfreak. |
| MTVKurt LoderThere are in fact no bad performances in this picture. The events depicted are often ugly and sometimes repulsive, but Cassavetes never flinches from depicting them fully |
| UGOBrian TallericoCassavetes, first and foremost, made Alpha Dog a great ensemble piece, a decision that really distinguishes the film from its lesser teenage crime counterparts. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussSharon Stone's teary monologue near the end of the film might be more effective if she weren't buried inside a fat suit that makes her look like Jiminy Glick. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[C]hock full of embarrassing baloney that tries to dress up the inherent crude B-movie-ness of itself... |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenThough a cookie-cutter crime tale, this one stands outfor some fierce ensemble performances. |
| Associated PressChristy LemireThe idea may sound melodramatic but the result has realistic bite. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigDon't be fooled by the presence of some pretty-boy actors: Alpha Dog is a gritty, gut-wrenching and disturbing film. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxCassavetes' instincts are spot-on, particularly when it comes to casting Timberlake in what turns out to be the most important role in the film. He manages to be both reprehensible and deeply charismatic, and winds up stealing the picture. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsAround the midpoint Alpha Dog becomes less sociological and more personal, developing a real sense of suspense. |
