A tepid tale of race, court-room tactics, communism, crooked lawyers, and desperate educators. Sound convoluted? It is. Somewhere in this mixture there was a great story, but it got lost in an attempt to expose too much. Considering the cast, writer, and director this one should have been great. Somehow we never really care much about the central characters, and the story rambles on to a conclusion that is unrealistic, at best.
