Did anyone else see Alpha Dog?

[Googlaw]

Wow ... just watched it for the first time tonight. Damn ... I thought it was a surprisingly good movie. The cast is young, but still talented.

 

[Herky_Jerky]

It just arrived the other day through Netflix. I'll have to watch it soon and get back to you.

I've been looking forward for its DVD release ever since I saw the previews many months ago.

Emile Hirsch is one of my favorite young actors in Hollywood today.

 

[The Q Man]

It was indeed a very good movie featuring a very young cast. But you'll notice that in the background there was a spectacular group of veterans (Bruce Willis, Sharon Stone) that made the movie even better.

I really didn't expect much from the movie, but it definitely far surpassed what I figured it would be. It's a pretty decent movie.

Emile Hirsch is a great actor and I'm really looking forward to seeing Into the Wild.

The kid who played ... the kid, Anton Yelchin, also stole a few of the scenes he was in toward the end of the movie.

Plus, who can deny Alan Thicke?

 

[Riddick]

Yeah, I thought it was pretty good. Didn't expect much to begin with, though, but still pleasantly surprised.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Wasn't Hirsch the main character in the surprisingly decent Elisha Cuthbert flick "Girl Next Door?"

 

[BRoth]

Yeah, he was. And that's a good way of describing it.

Plus, Cuthbert was extremely hot, even though she used a body double for some scenes.

C'mon, what about Timberlake? I'm no fan of his music, but I thought he was good in this and in "Black Snake Moan" as well. I was surprised by how good Alpha Dog was too. I thought it got panned by the critics or had a troublesome shoot, but I could be mixing it up with "Southland Tales."

Oh, yeah, also want to add that Ben Foster impresses me in everything I see him in.

 

[Googlaw]

Oh, yeah, also want to add that Ben Foster impresses me in everything I see him in.

Is it just me, or does he play a psychopath in every movie he's in? He was nuts in this one, and was pretty scary in Hostage. He's come a long way since his days on the Disney channel.

I saw it when it came out and thought it was a "surprisingly" good movie and Timberlake can act. Hirsch has a great acting future ahead of him too. Foster has done some good roles in past movies he has been in and Alpha Dog is no exception.
