Don't believe the HYPE read this....

Rating: 5/10 (20 July 2016)

Much of the greatest pieces of art in the history if cinema rated lower than this, which tells me the moral message pulled on heart strings.
It deserved a 6, why can't people be objective?
Americans obviously have a more sensitive approach to race relations but there is a big world outside of the USA and we for the most part have come a long way.
The transition from an evil ideology seems to have happened simply after watching a fellow NeoNazi do business with other races in prison, this quickly followed by a rape caused a humbling of the protagonist. The genre of this film is meant to be uber realism and this was not a likely path to redemption. Sorry if this was enough for you.
There was no where near enough build up of hate between the younger kids which resulted in a high school slaying.
The warmth between the prisoners on laundry duty was a missed opportunity, nothing of substance passed between the 2 of them to merit the benevolence.
The score was great and the graphic violence was done very well, triggering raw emotions.
Finally, affirmative action is mocked by many good people, politicians and social commentators all around the world without a racist bone in their body. The writer went too far with this manipulation, which was the point which ruined it the most for me and why I personally rated the film a 5.
