Review of Edmond

Edmond (2005)
7/10
Tastes like Crash
26 May 2007
It may be presumptuous to say that this is similar to the great film Crash, but it deals with the same themes of prejudice and intolerance.

Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, Body Snatchers) takes a David Maumet (Ronin, Wag the Dog) play and has a stellar cast led by William H. Macy, to give us a look at a man who loses control in a world that he is not familiar with. The consequences are disastrous, but funny, especially the end of the film.

It also stars Denise Richards, Bai Ling (Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith), Debi Mazar (Ugly Betty), and Mena Suvari. It is Bokeem Woodbine's role as Macy's cell mate that has a role you will not forget.
