Sex and Justice is the story of four people ensnared in a complex web of murders and vengeances. It begins with the unorthodox interrogation of a confessed murderess, Elizabeth Fiara, whose interview soon causes new suspicions to form around her interviewer-recently vindicated District Attorney Norman Turner. Turner’s corruptions are already well known to Detective Robert Bryant, but the extent of his partner’s, Detective Robert Montgomery, involvement is the entire affair remains a mystery.
By their own words, the filmmakers say that this project is an experiment in low budget, self distributed independent short form content. While the production values are fairly good and definitely justify the $11,000 budget, the acting is fair and the editing is no better. If feels very much like a South American telenovella. The script is underdeveloped and it shows. While I applaud the producers for their vision, I cannot excuse their execution. I still believe that the democratization of film has not added anything to the craft except underdeveloped scripts, directors, crew and actors. Sex and Justice does not change my opinion. One Star.
