7KDer Triebtäter – Eine Stadt in Angst: Directed by Lamont Johnson. With Michael Ontkean, Pamela Reed, Richard Gilliland, Sam Anderson. A community is shocked to learn that their new neighbor is a convicted sex offender who has been paroled.
“Yes overdone low budget but slightly courageous almost effective if not for such exaggerated u0026quot;not in my neighborhoodu0026quot; intolerance. The 2 -3 main characters were pretty decent (believable) but the u0026#39;extrasu0026#39; or whomever they gathered up to play the town members went into mob mentality too soon and stayed at a rabid volume that drowned out any likable qualities – in any of them – that might have induced some empathy. Yes nobodyu0026#39;s surprised that a crime with such high odds for reoffending scares a community into frantic vigilantism but usually thereu0026#39;s a few who see a paid debt to society as a fresh start. But most donu0026#39;t itu0026#39;s both unfair and understandable. This is a topic that might warrant a serious attempt at portraying the human dilemma…..this was watchable.”
