AN American CRIME - CATCH IT ( B+ ) You really need a Big Heart to watch An American Crime Based upon the horrific true story of Sylvia Likens. It is known as "the single worst crime perpetrated against an individual in Indiana's history" and "the most terrible crime ever committed in the state of Indiana." Long time back I saw "The Girl Next Door" which was also based upon Sylvia Likens, where in that movie, the torture and violence was shown to its extremist way and I was troubled after watching that I returned the DVD right away, I just couldn't kept it in my Room on any chance. that much effective it was. Similar thing happened this time too, I just wanted to get over with this, though as compare to "The Girl Next Door" its less torturous but the facts and situations shown in this one are 101% true. Ellen Page was simply incredible, no wonder she is the finest young Actresses around. Her shining personality shines through it and the person heart sinks watching her suffer like that! Catherine keener rightly bring out the Evil as the frustrated and Stoned Guardian. The movie is full of talented stars like James Franco & Brian Geraghty and young stars like Scott Eastwood, Jake Daniels, Jeremy Sumpter, Michael Welch, Ari Graynor, Scout Taylor-Compton and Haylay McFarland. Must watch it though its not for the faint hearten because it a true story and it Hurts BIG Time!
