Crossroads- No Eye for an Eye Here **1/2
edwagreen21 June 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This film would be considered outstanding by the liberals out there. After losing his wife and daughter in a tragic car accident brought on by drag racing, a man demands justice through our judicial system.

As it appears that he will get justice, he changes his tune when the culprit shows remorse.

What then occurs is that the man and the teenager go on to high schools to discuss what has happened. We all are supposed to live happily ever after. Hogwash.

While this teen may have shown remorse, others usually don't. What message are we really sending our youth? Put on Oscar calibrated performances and you may be able to fool the system?

Films such as these may help to send the wrong message. This is why our school system and society have these problems to begin with.

What would the early Babylonians (now modern day Iraq) think of this film? Probably not very much as they advocated the idea of an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth.
