YMMV / Alpha Dog

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Frankie would be a nice guy if the people he hung out with weren't such dickheads.
• Best Known for the Fanservice: Some people most likely remember the film for Amanda Seyfried and Olivia Wilde's nude scenes. Amber Heard goes nude too, although her reputation has soured considerably since the film's release in 2006.
• Creepy Awesome: Jake Mazursky. Calling the guy unstable is a massive understatement, and there's also the fact he might legitimately be a Neo-Nazi (in spite of also being of Jewish descent), but thanks to Ben Foster's chilling performance and the scene of him beating the ever-loving shit out of an entire room of people, he's become a bit of a Love to Hate fan-favorite character amongst audience members.
• Drinking Game: Take a shot whenever a profanity is uttered. You'll likely die of alcohol poisoning halfway through the film.
• Moral Event Horizon: Johnny and Elvis have pretty much punched their tickets to Hell by the time the credits roll.
• Narm: Sharon Stone's fat suit at the end has been a target for derision. Her character let herself go after the murder of her son and is giving an interview about the outcome of the kidnapping.
• Nightmare Fuel: The eventual murder of Zack is rather horrifying, especially with Elvis's full switch to Lack of Empathy as he shoots Zack after he's been smacked with the shovel.
• Tear Jerker: The climax pretty much tears apart the entire gang and the more sympathetic members look devastated by the end of it. That's not even getting started on Zach in his final moments.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: To an extent. The film stars a seemingly crapsack cast of characters who are either obnoxious, violent, arrogant, incredibly profane, self-centered, sleazy, stupid, bigoted, bitchy, nasty, amoral, or a combination all of twelve traits with even the ones who aren't as morally dubious still seem to have some unlikable quality about them, although the performances of the actors do save it somewhat.
