| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzUnpleasant courtroom psychological drama that is well-acted and well-meaning but fails in its attempt to be convincing in delivering its humanist message. |
| User ReviewDrew BPossibly my favorite movie of the year. obviously a low budget production, much burden is placed on Andrew Walker to make the movie interesting. Walker plays the neo-nazi accused of a racially motivated murder with such gusto and gut-wrenching honesty that he makes viewers cringe at his reality. the best scene is easily when he snaps back into Super Nazi mode and recites his Nazi creed. Go rent it. Right now. |
| User ReviewBill PFantastic acting story. My favorite stories are those where someone is transformed. It was dramatic. The chemistry between the two men was perfect though unexpected. Will watch again another time. |

| User ReviewAmanda HThis subject matter fascinates and enrages me, and this was one of the more powerful portrayals of it that I've seen in recent years. Despite its low budget and subdued plot, it really kept me interested and I found it very emotional. |
| User ReviewSarah .The prisoner's statement to the court concerning his behavior was so cogent and profound that I wish it could be carved in letters of fire over the heads of every prosecutor and judge in the world. |

| User ReviewGeorge Dfollowing a hate crime, a lawyer attempts the rehabilitation of a violent young man; a moving and thought-provoking drama. |
| User ReviewJen KI was asked to watch it as an assignment in a Sociology class I'm taking and I LOVED it! Its in your face and brutal with your emotions and perceptions, but an incredible film and message. A fresh take on a long standing subject. |
