Vapid thy face art the suburban white American teen

DEC

2007

Bottom-Line: Great acting makes Alpha Dog compelling yet depressing, and proves that American teenagers can not only be witless, but sadly ruthless as well.

There is something wrong with American, the American dream. This generation of young people has seemingly lost it way, thrown off...

a movie buff, loving this product

This movie is a true story about a young boy that was kidnapped by a drug dealer and his "posee". Surprisngly the victim enjoyed his time w/ the gang and actually looked to them as friends. The ending is HEART WRENCHING and I actually cried. And I never cry at movies!
