Not sure exactly how we are supposed to feel about these people. The director certainly doesn't want you to really sympathize. And seriously, when his attorney asks him to "...bring a Bible" he retorts, "Bible? I'd rather bring a f&*%ing Qur'an". What was that for? Actual statement or just a convenient potshot at Christianity? Who knows, but I would think, faced with indictment, he'd just do whatever he was told. Truth is, it's pretty hard to find something decent to watch these days. This? Giving it a 5 because it's just a 5. Not the worst I've seen lately, but definitely a disappointment.
