An arty, brain-dead celebration of beautiful losers.
Chicago Tribune
Despite its pretenses, the film fails to break the mold, presenting stock characters in predictable situations without a gimmick to separate it from the pack.

Boxoffice Magazine
At one point Vincent muses, 'It's hard to lift somebody out of hell.' Not that hard if you're stuck watching Crime and Punishment in Suburbia. Deliverance is just below the exit sign.

An intense coming-of-age think-piece.

A dark, disorienting look at the dysfunction that simmers beneath the shiny surface of American suburbia...

Rating: D+ --
A story so stupid and contrived that old Dostoyevsky might have somersaulted in his grave by now.

Product Description:
In director Robert Schmidt's adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic novel CRIME AND PUNISHMENT (the "in Suburbia" is Schmidt's addition), the role of the protagonist is played not by a troubled young man who kills his landlady, but by a teenage girl (Monica Keena) who murders an older man who has been molesting her. The punishment, rather than a police interrogation and exile to Siberia, is a series of psychological discussions with a common cop who has a romantic interest in her. An interesting take on an old story, the film raises the nagging moral questions: When is a crime justifiable' and How does the punishment fit the crime'
