| Alpha Dog (2006) starring...
Ben Foster
Bruce Willis
Justin Timberlake
Amber Heard
Emile Hirsch
Amanda Seyfried
Harry Dean Stanton
Olivia Wilde
and
Sharon Stone
based on the incredible true story...
I saw this a few years back and it really is an incredible and underrated film. Even Timberlake shows some surprising acting talent in it. The trial that it's based on is still going on. Check this movie out if you haven't seen it.  |

| "based on a true story" and "inspired by true events" are two totally different things
"Remember the Titans" and "Unstoppable" are notable examples of the "inspired by"

| JT was excellent. As was Ben Foster. The rest of the acting was pretty meh. Really sad story though, had my stomach in knots.

Maybe a better job of casting would have helped. | |
