1.5/4
First-time director Stovall renders all with the kitchen-lit, squarely composed aesthetic of timid prime-time TV, and his moral schema is no less ordinary. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times May 12, 2006
2.5/4

George S Jul 1, 2011 This one felt like a TV movie but it was still a good depiction of a hate crime. Decent acting and nice cinematography. Two thumbs up! A little slow IMO. See more
