The plot is excellent, the execution somewhat confusing, and the surprising ending totally acceptable. I enjoyed "The Lesser Evil", but constantly found myself questioning who was who, as the film bounced back and forth between present day, and twenty two years earlier. Boldly depending on four teenage friends to keep a lifelong secret, the plan eventually spirals out of control, leading to paranoia, double crosses, and another murder. The outcome is always in doubt, which maintains interest through the entire 96 minutes. David Paymer is a standout as the lawyer who seems intent on self preservation rather than commitment to his cronies in crime. - MERK
