Alpha Dog

Just screened "Alpha Dog."

it's basically about the drug world and some young adults that dig themselves a little too deep.

The one guy owes his 'boss' (the drug lord of our tale) some cash from a deal he made, but due to the deal going wrong, he refuses to pay. in turn, his boss gets him fired from his actual day job, resulting in the guy to go berserk. in a random sponteous event, the drug lord and his buddies kidnap the guy's 15yr old brother, who's more than thrilled to go with them, get away from his overprotective parents, and help his brother out. The druggies soon learn that because they're technically holding the kid for randsom, they could face life in prison. The kid's given multiple chances to just hop a bus and go home, no questions asked, yet he doesnt want to create anymore problems for his brother. Little does he know, it could cost him his life.

Considering it's based on a true story and told sort of like an episode of CSI or Law and Order - datelines/stamps and all - it was actually pretty decent with a pretty surprising cast. Yes, there's Justin Timberlake, all in tattoos, but there's also Bruce Willis, Sharon Stone and some other well known actors you've seen in other things.

Apparently this film was also pushed back multiple times by the FBI and police due to the fact that the drug lord guy was just found and apprehended not even 2 years ago (the story takes place in 1999) and is currently awaiting trial.
