Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Alpha Dog is no travesty, but I would trade 95 percent accuracy for, say, 25 percent insight.
Fresh: As uneven as the film is, those with strong stomachs will find it worth sticking with.
Rotten: Who would have thought that a real-life tale of sex, drugs and murder could be so instantly forgettable?
Fresh: Irresponsible, uncommercial but surprisingly watchable.
