A Impressive Movie On All Levels

A Film Review By Paul Perkins

Well we all seen American Most Wanted TV at lease one time our lifetime they show fugitive that is wanted by the FBI and the show helps to catch them with the help of us citizens. One of the youngest Fugitive wanted by the FBI is Jesse James Hollywood who was only 20 years old when it appeared on the list.

 In the sprawling, privileged neighborhoods around L.A., bored teenagers with too much time and too much money string one hazy day into another, looking for the next thrill--doing suburban imitations of the thug life they idolize from rap music, video games and movies. When you're living without any consequences, anything can happen. And in the hot California summer six years ago, something did.

Inspired by true events, Alpha Dog follows three fateful days when the lives of a group of Southern California teens suddenly dead-ended.

In 1992 there was a film that stir a lot of controversy when it was release it was called John Q and it was a outstanding motion picture one of the best of that year. So walking into this film I had some good hopes for the film only because of the director.

The stars of the film I thought would hurt this film esp. by Justin Randall Timberlake I thought he would destroy the film he is not an actor but I was wrong he did an good job in this role which surprise me. The rest of the cast was also good in their roles. The story was good and the way the director shows us each characters was also good. He keep the past of the film flowing and it did not drag at all.

Some of the scenes were very intense and hard to watch. I seen this film almost two month ago and I can still remember some of the scenes. This is the type of film you will never forget and after seeing the film you wonder what will be the outcome of the real life case this film is base upon. Overall Alpha Dog was a good film for this first month of the new film season.
