Smith), David (Benjamin Walker) and Greg (Victor Rasuk) are the War Boys, a group of young men who have nothing better to do than park on the border with Mexico and harrass illegal immigrants.  David has been suspended from college and, when he’s hassled by his father (Peter Gallager), decides to steal one of his father’s trucks that he thinks is hauling contraband electronics across the border.  The three War Boys pull off the heist and while waiting for things to cool off before selling the goods, Greg gets involved with an older woman and George and David give in to their feelings for one another.

Hate Crime was in the bargain bin and it had a first time director, so I wasn’t expecting much, but it turned out to be very well done with an interesting story.

Robbie (Seth Peterson) and Trey (Brian J. Smith) have a good life planning a commitment ceremony and thinking about adopting. That’s until the son (Chad Donella) of a fundementalist preacher (Bruce Davison) moves in next door. Trey is found beaten and dying after walking their dog in the park and Robbie soon finds the legal system isn’t on his side. He teams up with Trey’s grieving mother to find out who done it and get justice on his own.
