Steel Toes (2006): Rage and intolerance collide with compassion when a Jewish liberal humanist, and a court-appointed lawyer represents a Neo-Nazi Skinhead on trial for the racially motivated murder of an East Indian immigrant. (5.8)
Directors: Mark Adam, David Gow
Stars: David Strathairn, Andrew W. Walker and Marina Orsini
The story is good. Dialog is a bit stiff and quite un-real. It feels like the emotions are being forced into the conversations rather than emerging from the characters' interactions. The acting is a bit over-dramatic. I kept waiting for the courtroom drama and arguments but the drama is really between the lawyer and the client in the jail visiting room. My Rating: 5.0
