This was such a bad movie

I have to admit, that the story of "Alpha Dog" looked good to me, when I read about it, but then I saw the movie.

"Alpha Dog" is the worst movie I have seen since a long time now, it is boring, it can't stand its own ambition to be "reportage"-like movie or something like that and has absolutely nothing to score with.

You have Bruce Willis - a good actor - who got a lame role in which he could not even perform anything. Then we have Justin Timberlake. Some white guy trying to be a Gangster - it is not working at all.

The whole plot, the actors, the camera, the music was stupid.

I had to watch the movie in German and there it was not even well dubbed so that did the shot to the head.

I still don't get it: Why has one "Gangster" (a Nazi - why by the way?) to put his dump on another's floor? The dialogs were boring and there was no character development in it except for "Elvis" why - by the way - was still lame as everyone else.

The only shocking moment in "Alpha Dog" was not even prepared. It happened and it was over as fast as it came.

I understood, that "Alpha Dog" is based on a true story, but then it was still as bad as said. "Blow" and several other movies showed, that actual happened stuff can be performed a lot better.

So please save your money and do /not/ go to see that movie!
