“Boiling Pot” (*1/2 out of four) was an amateurish jumble set on a college campus in which various factions of racism erupt leading to a multitude of fights and legal troubles that eventually threaten to destroy the university. Give writer-director Omar Ashmawey credit for trying to make an important statement about race relations and their impact on society but the result is heavy-handed and limp and is undone by some seriously weak acting. Similar in some ways to John Singleton’s 1995 “Higher Learning” but that was done with higher acting and style.
