Preview: Alpha Dog (2007)

• Poster: C+

Review:

Typically, showing pictures of the cast would encourage audiences to check out the preview, but since many of these actors are little known and each are relatively dirty looking, there's little appeal apparent.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

When I first saw this preview, the idea intrigued me, but watching it again, I'm reminded how much it's designed for teenagers. The potential for depth and emotional attachment is washed away quickly by trailer's end.

Oscar Prospects:

The film skews far too young for the mainstream Academy tastes.

Release Date:

• January 12, 2007
