A Big, Pretentious Steaming Dump of a Movie

Liked Anton Yelchin in Alpha Dog and was looking forward to seeing him in a starring role. This is the exception to the rule that good ingredients add up to a good finished product. The actors and filmmakers did a professional job with what they had, but a bad script in the hands of good actors turned into a bad movie. Didn't buy the "poor little rich kid" angle or his friendship/partnership with the tough guy from the bad side of town. Good actors, good performances, good intentions (maybe, maybe not), bad movie. Groan-inducing and very disappointing, given my expectations going in. |
