Crime and Punishment is the story of a popular girl with a popular boyfriend but with a not so good home life. Her mother and her stepfather are not getting along. Oddly, when her mother has an affair, she leaves her teenage daughter with the stepfather. In a drunken state, the stepfather abuses the girl sexually. The end result is murder when the teenage girl and her boyfriend kill the stepfather. The girl's mother shows up at the house after the murder and is arrested for the crime.
Crime and Punishment just doesn't quite succeed as a good film. In places it is too slick and emotionless. In other spots, the motivation of the characters does not quite jibe with their behavior. All in all, it's like eating a tasteless, textureless meal. In other words, it's unsatisfying and disappointing. I'd rate it 72/100. Avoid it.
