      Bill T This version of Crime and Punishment is pretty good, had some interesting ideas up it's sleeve.. Especially with the sleaze of a fiancee of the sister of the lead character has to deal with. The story is all there, it may have just been a wee bit TOO heavy handed for me to enjoy.. I zapped out a few times. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
