| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 27, 2001

This self-satisfied waste of space, care of flashy new filmmaker Rob Schmidt, manages to be even more insipid than the overrated American Beauty, if that were possible.

| Original Score: D | Oct 24, 2001

This is one twisted pic.

| Original Score: 68/100 | Feb 7, 2001

Despite its pretenses, the film fails to break the mold, presenting stock characters in predictable situations without a gimmick to separate it from the pack.

Far from the head-banging alternative to teen movies the filmmakers intended -- it's more like a self-important Poison Ivy sequel.

To sum up in Raskolnikov's own words, 'Generally, there are remarkably few people born who have a new thought, who are capable, if only slightly, of saying anything new.'

Mopes along without a thought in its head.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 1, 2000

The younger actors ... are full of small, poignant surprises.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Watch this movie instead of reading Dostoyevsky's novel, and you'll still fail the exam. This movie fails, too.

| Jan 1, 2000

Every single thing about Crime and Punishment in Suburbia is stolen and tired.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

A story so stupid and contrived that old Dostoyevsky might have somersaulted in his grave by now.

| Original Score: D+ | Jan 1, 2000

You wouldn't want to give any of these people the time of day in real life. They are blah or worse, and they are headed for some violent confrontations that seem pointless because they are so unworthy of our attention in the first place.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

A pretentious mess.

| Jan 1, 2000

The picture is so garish in its violence ... so laden with angsty metaphoric gloom, that its mood would feel grimly overcooked even if it were applied to one of the infamous high school rampages of recent years.

| Original Score: F | Jan 1, 2000

At one point Vincent muses, 'It's hard to lift somebody out of hell.' Not that hard if you're stuck watching Crime and Punishment in Suburbia. Deliverance is just below the exit sign.

| Jan 1, 2000

The kind of movie that lives and breathes.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000
