10 More Tear-Jerking Moments In Incredibly Macho Movies

9. Seeing It Coming - Alpha Dog

The Movie: Based on the true story of the kidnap and murder of 15 year old Nicholas Markowitz, this crime thriller from Nick Cassavetes charts the fall out between Johnny Truelove (Emile Hirsch) and Jake Mazursky (Ben Foster) over a drug debt of just $1,200 resulting in the murder of the latter's half-brother. Tear-Jerker Moment: Little rich boys stop playing gangsters and turn into the real thing when Zack Mazursky (Anton Yelchin) is taken into the Californian wilderness where he is confronted with the realization that these people he has been partying with, and thinks he has bonded with, actually mean to murder him. He begs for his life but is tied up, knocked into a shallow grave and shot to death. All hard men watching this know with crushing inevitability what's going to happen and reel from the brutal and ultimately pointless murder of an extremely likeable and innocent young boy.
