Beta’s Super Awesome Unofficial 83rd Academy Award.In the 2006 hit movie Alpha Dog Emile Hirsch plays the role of a young marijuana dealer named Johnny Truelove.The real lesson: If Justin Timberlake says "it will be alright" The best moral of the story I can think of is “Don’t be an impulsive asshole”, since all of this would have been avoided if Johnny Truelove had said to himself “After I hypothetically kidnap this guy’s brother what’s my next move? Prison? Better leave him alone then.” I have no idea if that was what I was supposed to take away from it or not. Keep an eye on your kids? That’s the first step to totalitarian parenting that creates socially awkward weirdoes so I won’t ponder that one.

Plus if Amanda Seyfried was involved I wouldn’t have left either. Be careful who you hang out with? Well maybe Zack certainly ends up with the wrong crowd, though in his defense with one or two obvious examples he was pretty much kidnapped the whole without a whole lot of opportunity to escape. Don’t deal drugs? I don’t know, Johnny’s life was pretty sweet and the trouble only starts because he got violent with someone who owed him money. In the making-of bonus feature all the actors kept repeating how important it was for people to see this movie because of what it has to say but after watching it I’m not sure what it’s trying to tell me. I’m also unsure what the message was in this film. There are several instances like that that may or may not be character development scenes (Mostly they weren’t) but certainly don’t move the plot forward. It just sort of happens and then isn’t spoken of again. For example the scene I mentioned where Ben Foster beats up a bunch of people at once, while great for a Foster fan like me, doesn’t affect anything at all. Seeing as the film is nearly two hours I assume it wasn’t to pad things put but it does in fact feel that way. Speaking of stuff that wasn’t needed there are a lot of scenes in this movie that serve no real purpose. When I look back at this film I suspect I’ll instantly think “Oh yeah, Sharon Stone in a fat suit” over anything else. Actually in Stone’s case it may have been an improvement as her big scene as the tortured mother of the long dead Zack is made almost laughable by how much she over acts it. Now I suspect that the only reason these two were cast was to gain some star power for this flick but regardless of the “why” neither of these two provide the film with anything at all and really the roles could have been played by more talented “non-name” actors and the difference would be negligible. Also in the film are Bruce Willis as Johnny’s father Sonny and Sharon Stone as Zack’s mother Olivia who probably both worked for scale. Seyfried is a pretty solid actor but I’m still waiting to be thoroughly impressed by her. Getting back on topic Seyfried plays Julie a truly unimportant and unremarkable character that doesn’t really have any bearing on the plot as a whole, other than being one of 19,992 witnesses to the crime. I should probably change the name of this list to “ List of Women Who Will Never Date Me”, but then it would probably get way too long. It’s a damn shame that I didn’t catch him here when it originally came out.īen Foster: Too Good to Have Been in X-Men 3 I love Foster and have been a fan of his since 3:10 to Yuma where he went all Psycho Cowboy on everyone he came across in that flick. Jake is a prick who is no better than anyone else (And being a Neo-Nazi he’s obviously a monster) but damn if he didn’t beat the living hell out of something like seven dudes in one scence. As Jake he plays it so goddamn chillingly in it that I seriously wondered if the character was going to crawl out of the screen, choke me to death, then take my soul. He is a really, really talented at playing intense and probably unbalanced characters. Or at least I hope he is the future of Hollywood. Next Ben Foster who is one of two actors I think is the future of Hollywood (The other being Joseph Gordon-Levitt). He would later prove this to be true in The Social Network. It’s like here its saying that he could be great in a movie, just not this movie. Had I seen this movie when it came out I would have been forced to admit that Timberlake had talent. It’s not a game changing role for him or anything like that, but it does imply that he has a lot a potential as an actor.

Justin Timberlake, playing Johnny’s friend Frankie is easily one of the more likable characters in a story where almost no one is supposed to be likable. The cast and character as a whole are not that interesting, though there are a few standouts.
