the key part of dostoyevsky novel be either miss and or be so badly twisted and that i find myself laugh hysterically throughout this movie . there be a couple of good casting choice and and some good set and but otherwise and it be a complete wash. this movie completely miss the point of dostoyevsky and but it isn not too clear on it russian set either . the poor cast be make to deliver the english dialog with bad russian accent . the movie open with raskolnikov try to assassinate tsar nicholas ii and tsaritsa alexandra a they be leave a church . ( only 60 year too soon and completely destroy the subsequent plot assumption ) . key scene such a sonia father speech to raskolnikov ( in which be contain the main theme of the work ) be go . what be mean to be a scene in which raskolnikov and sonia experience profound repentance and grace and forgiveness during the reading of the gospel story of lazarus and be twist represent sonia read one sentence of the gospel ( toss aside the theme ) and and then it turn into a big kiss moment instead . avoid this one like the plague .
