“The movie is fairly well acted and produced, however the movie lacks originality, warmth, and anything that would make the tale necessary to tell.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eForgiveness is the primary theme, but never fully explored. The interesting plot points, such as the Lawyeru0026#39;s family shunning him for defending the skinhead, are left unfinished.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe ending leaves you feeling downhearted rather than uplifted. The skinheadu0026#39;s change of heart is hard to take seriously.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe characteru0026#39;s motivations needed to be explored more. This seems like an empty u0026quot;After School Special.u0026quot;”
