'Destiny' holds good intentions about its subject matter, though strictly as a movie it is underwhelming. There isn't really much to connect to with those onscreen, aside from the key plot point, and the direction of the story felt too aimless and limply paced.

The cast are fine, though I couldn't really enjoy them as there isn't much to grasp with their characters. They are also a bit shouty, which is grating. It's certainly an admirable film given it tackles bigotry, especially for the time, but purely as something to see it isn't the best; if not awful, granted.
