Every individual has some quirks, misgivings and even evil instincts. This is natural for human beings. Humans react to any kind of stimulus and may be considered evil to some when pushed to the limit or when saturation point has already been reached. This is one of the aspects the movie "American Violence" attempts to focus on.
According to Movie Insider, the movie "American Violence" revolves around as the main character Jackson Shea lives a life of deceit, brutality and corruption. These violent behaviors then inevitably landed him on Death Row.
The movie "American Violence" then continues as psychologist Dr. Amanda Tyler determines whether this violent behavior is inherent or if he can still be renewed and rehabilitated. As the interview commences, the psychologist then has to decide if execution has to continue or if pardon is necessary.
The movie "American Violence" suggests that it is also about second chances. No matter how evil a criminal is, there is still some goodness deep within.
However, this goodness may not be enough to save someone on Death Row. Laws being governed by Death Penalty is definitely strictly enforced. It most likely follows "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" approach.
The movie American Violence may then proceed covering these thoughts. The psychologist in the movie plays a crucial role because Jackson may forever be grateful for saving him on Death Row but his victims may curse her to death if they found out that the perpetrator has been spared.
As added by IMDb, the movie "American Violence" stars Denise Richards as the psychologist, Dr. Amanda Tyler and Kaiwi Lyman-Mersereau as the violent, death row convict Jackson Shea. The movie also stars actors such as Bruce Dern playing Richard Morton, Columbus Short as Been Woods, Rob Gronkowski as Brad and many more.
The movie "American Violence" will be shown in limited release on Feb. 3, 2017. The movie is directed by Timothy Woodward Jr.
