Crime and Punishment in Suburbia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crime and Punishment in Suburbia is a 2000 film directed by Rob Schmidt and starring Monica Keena (as Roseanne Skolnick), Ellen Barkin (as Maggie Skolnick), Michael Ironside (as Fred Skolnick), and Vincent Kartheiser (as Vincent).

This is a contemporary fable loosely based on Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment. Roseanne is outwardly a perfect and popular teen, who is chronically abused by her stepfather. She fights back one night, with fatal results. A friend named Vincent (Vincent Kartheiser) reliably consoles her and gives her advice, while trying to point her in the right direction to redemption (in the third act, it becomes clear that Vincent is actually Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment.
