This movie ended up being a pleasant surprise. 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.
