Review of Hate Crime (2005) by Neil O — 15 Nov 2008

Great ending which I did not expect. The film addresses several social issues of importance and exposes the hypocrisy found in religion, especially the Catholic church. One of the 10 Commandments says thou shall not kill yet some members of the Church find it acceptable and "necessary" to kill those that lead alternative lifestyles- shocking!!

Good film that goes for the jugular so to speak. You can't help but despise the so called "religious characters" because they are unstable. Bottom line acting was so-so, its an independent film, low budget but the message sent is loud and clear. I liked the ending very much which goes along the line of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". Sometimes you have to take justice into your own hands so justice can prevail due to so much prejudice and discrimination in this world. Recommended!
