Lethal Justice

Murder; rape; bullying; a mother's dominance; a father's back-turning; revenge; brown-nosing - just a few of the wonderful topics depicted in this movie. That might be reality, but, some of it is lost in the actors' reactions to these subjects. Or, perhaps they were TOLD how to react by the director. Anyway, LETHAL JUSTICE didn't quite hit the mark with me, although it DID evoke some of my appropriate emotional responses to these misbehaviors. The jist is that a bullying high school student rapes one of his teachers, but, the milktoast principal is intimidated by the boy's domineering mother and is too inactive to satisfy a group of the victim's co-workers. So, they take discipline into their own hands and, as a result, one of them is killed by a friend of the accused. Might appeal to those who get off on negativity and believe that violence begets violent justice.
