Alpha Dog<\/a>“.\u00a0 It wasn’t the movie I was looking for, I just grabbed it by accident.\u00a0 It had a cheesy title, way too many people on the cover, and an overall B-movie feel to it.\u00a0 I got it anyway, just to have some extra movies to watch over the weekend.\u00a0 I’m glad I did.<\/p>\nI think there should be more movies like this. And then, hopefully, there will be fewer cases such as the one shown in the film.\u00a0 Nobody wanted for things to go bad.\u00a0 But those people who could have kept the situation under control, weren’t near enough.\u00a0 Then things started spinning down.\u00a0 Then they continued.\u00a0 Then nobody knew what to do and how to get out.\u00a0 The result – dead teenager and a few more broken lives.\u00a0 Who’s fault?\u00a0 Everybody’s. The kids themselves are guilty of what happened.\u00a0 Most of their parents are guilty.\u00a0 The society as a whole has the part of that guilt…<\/p>\n
The film like this, with all its messages, thoughts, and story developments could have easily survived with weaker technical sides.\u00a0 Gladly, the film was done excellent on all levels.\u00a0 The cast was very good, and even though Bruce Willis, Sharon Stone, and Justin Timberlake are in, they aren’t the highlights of the film. OK, maybe with the exception of Justin.\u00a0\u00a0 The photography was very interesting at places, and helped to create the atmosphere (especially that scene with parents waiting for the kidnapped child at home).\u00a0 The soundtrack was great too.<\/p>\n
Overall, a strong 8 out of 10<\/strong>.\u00a0 A must see for parents with kids, fans of criminal drama, and those who simply like good movies.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\nI just watched “Alpha Dog“.\u00a0 It wasn’t the movie I was looking for, I just grabbed it by accident.\u00a0 It had a cheesy title, way too many people on the cover, and an overall B-movie feel to it.\u00a0 I got it anyway, just to have some extra movies to watch over the weekend.\u00a0 I’m glad … Continue reading Alpha Dog<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1708,1,24],"tags":[1485,1388,1483,1482,1481,1484],"keyring_services":[],"class_list":["post-11152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-5-stars","category-general","category-movies","tag-ben-foster","tag-bruce-willis","tag-emile-hirsch","tag-justin-timberlake","tag-sharon-stone","tag-shawn-hatosy"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":8320,"url":"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2004\/12\/10\/scarface\/","url_meta":{"origin":11152,"position":0},"title":"Scarface","author":"Leonid Mamchenkov","date":"December 10, 2004","format":false,"excerpt":"Today I wanted to see some classics, so I rented \"Scarface\" DVD.
