Review of An American Crime (2007) by Mitch H — 17 Jun 2013
Overall this film did a decent job in telling the true story of a horrific crime of abuse and torture. Several moments throughout this film were difficult to watch and even more impossible to imagine that people are capable of such evil.
Torture and evil rose to the top and unfortunately, character dimension, motives and understanding sank rapidly. In a film loaded with tremendous actors, the script and direction did little to capitalize on the wealth of talent.
"An American Crime" is not an enjoyable film primarily based on its nature, but I would venture to say this to film is not even solid enough to voluntary witness the horror. Definitely heavy and not for the faint of heart -- 6/10.
