It's ok.
I am not particularly fond of the negative "white man failure/your society is bad" messages that Hollywood put into their films--especially at this time. While it is used as a commentary on false arrest and victimization of the poor and uneducated, they chose stories to film based on this agenda. There are other murder cases in England that would be just as valuable to highlight that don't fit the agenda.
Likewise A Clockwork Orange it is a situation where an outsider is making a critique (albeit subtle in this case) of a society.
The Devils is different given Russell was from England and in the case of the Devils it had subversive elements that Warner Bros. management didnt catch on to (I don't mean the Christian corruption aspects).
