Kush

this film is very reminiscent of alpha dog... i would put money on it that the adaptation is about the young lad Nicholas Mankowski who was kidnapped and murdered by Jesse Hollywood and his crew.. over a debt by Nicholas Markowski's brother Ben... its too much like the film alpha dog not to be.. nick was kidnapped by Hollywood ,rugge Hoyt and others because Ben Markowski would not pay up a drug debt.. at first they beat the boy up but then realised the seriousness of what they had done by kidnapping him started to panic ...feeding him Valium and pot to keep him calm they moved nick from house to house .. after 3 days of this they told the young lad they were going to take him home ..put him in a car and drove him to lizards creek .. smashed the young lad over the head with a shovel and put him in a shallow grave ...then the Hoyt monster took out a tec-9 automatic machine gun and riddled the young lad with bullets... Nicholas Markowski was found days later by passing hikers .... r.i.p. Nicholas Markowski..

Kush doesn't fire. I don't if it's because I'm tired of low budget movies trying to rip off Hollywood movies or if Kush is weak on it's own merits. I agree with other reviewers that this was an attempt to cash in on Alpha Dog with Timberlake. Funny poop about it is Alpha Dog wasn't a movie worth ripping off. It was a so-so Hollywood movie itself. I rented Kush because of what I saw and read on it's cover. Director York Shackelton showed glimpses there is a director under there. Maybe next time they will get original enough to make their own move not a alpha Dog rip off. Like a 5th grade book report I will close out with IN CONCLUSION KUSH WAS A WEAK MOVIE NOT WORTH WATCHING. THANK YOU.

Such a basic bi@ch of a film. kush is a strain not a generic name for weed/cannabis

I saw Kush and yes it is like the Alpha Dog movie but it is still good and the actors are good. If you like Alpha Dog you will like this. I enjoyed the actors struggle with trying to leave the drug business but being connected through ties with the family and the friends and money that made it hard to leave. I actually enjoyed Kush better than Alpha Dog because the characters seemed more real to me. There was a lot of action going on and the story was interesting the whole way through it made the point and did not drag on unnecessarily. I was really surprised to see William Atherton from Ghostbusters and James Duval from Gone With Sixty Seconds they made the movie better.

If you didn't know, this movie is going to be available on Video On Demand (VOD) starting December 1st, 2009. This is going to be for a limited time, so don't miss the opportunity to see this great movie, and check your local listings for the time! I like to watch movies where the theme involves everyday situations, and action at the same time. Kush, in my opinion, is one of the movies that would get you a little closer to what a real world of a drug dealer is. And how with a slight mistake, can put his life on risk, and even all the money that he can get, won't be enough to stop his family, and friends to be destroyed. With this movie you can enter into a world of reality, that in may cases we don't have idea how cruel and scary it is.
