Liberty Stands Still (2002)
Ein Vater, dessen Kind bei einer Schießerei in der Schule getötet wurde, nimmt die Frau eines Waffenhändlers als Geisel und erzwingt ein Handy-Gespräch, das über Waffengesetze, -verkauf und Gewinnspannen in diesem Geschäft aufklären soll. Eigentlich ein Zweipersonenstück, das durch viele Nebenschauplätze an Rasanz gewinnt und durch überzeugende Hauptdarsteller getragen wird. Der Film nimmt aktuelle (nicht mehr nur) amerikanische Tragödien zum Anlass, um auf Gesetzesmissstände in den USA aufmerksam zu machen; dabei konterkariert er das ernsthafte Anliegen durch flapsige Dialoge und die Negation der Negation, die Gewalt mit Gewalt zu beenden versucht.
