Alpha Dog
Johnny Truelove (Emile Hirsch), barely out of his teens, already has a lucrative drug-dealing business and his life is one big party. There's just one thorn in his side, regular customer Jake (Ben Foster) whose expanding unpaid tab sets in motion a doomed-to-fail scheme that involves the kidnapping of Jake's younger brother. Based on the actual story of the improbably named Jesse James Hollywood, who at just 21 years old, became the youngest person to appear on the FBI's Most Wanted list, the film also stars Justin Timberlake, Shawn Hatosy, Sharon Stone and Bruce Willis.
