    I'm not much of a movie buff but i know this movie has been out for a few years and just started watching it last night. [Started] is the key word here... there's an old saying "only in the movies" and that applies to this... when the guy starts slapping the kid around.. if that were real the teacher would be fired, sued and put in jail... then the school would be sued.

    I had more enjoyment watching the Patriots get their butts kicked in JAX.

    I wasn’t real impressed with it. I found it over-sensationalized and over-dramatic. Like a musician version of Fast and Furious.....complete with the hero crawling from out of a car wreck.

    I've actually heard of some real life drama that was not far from the events in the movie. Some real SOB profs out there with a God complex who abuse their power and students who don't want to disappoint try to endure or just survive. The movie had some of that Hollywood dramatization but it was well done; it made you hate the villain and feel for the protagonist. Add some killer music and I rather enjoyed it!
