Best movie of this year hands down!

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I'm not sure where this genre got it's start. 'Blackboard Jungle'? It's also reminiscent of Tom Berenger's 'Substitute 1' and '2'.Dolph's lean, and in top form, as he takes on recalcitrant students and a gang that's bent on taking over the high school.The gang members have lots of strangely colored hair, assorted tattoos and body piercings, if you like that sort of thing, but when they shoot they can't seem to hit anything.I especially enjoyed watching the thug on a motorcycle in a high school hallway who could neither catch nor hit with a machine gun a cripple running away in a wheel chair.Grab the popcorn and settle back for an hour and a half of not too serious fun.

This was probably one of the DUMBEST action movies I've seen in years! The only really decent part was the opening sequence prior to the title credits.Examples of just how dumb this flick was include when our (combat vet)hero discovers the dead body of an ARMED security guard after already having been shot at by bad-guys, the hero chooses to ignore the guard's gun and then run and hide instead of arming himself with a gun.Then, after getting a minor gunshot wound, our hero decides to use welding equipment to heat up a pipe in the school's workshop to cauterize the wound....like there there are no first aid kits in a shop area, not to mention the wound appeared to be EXTREMELY minor.Then when the local cops are being "hijacked" by the secret service for executive protection, not only do they balk, they actually argue with the secret service agent about his authority to "hijack" them...The other REALLY good part of the movie was....the final credits....

Cheezy action movie starring Dolph Lungren. Lungren is a one time military man who has retreated into a teaching job. But the changes in the neighborhood and the student body have left him frustrated and he decides that he?s going to hang it up. Things get dicey when while watching over a bunch of students in detention some robbers take over the school as a base of operation for an armored car robbery. Its Dolph versus the baddies in a fight to the death. Jaw dropping throw back to the exploitation films of the late grindhouse era where bad guys dressed as punks and some of the bad women had day glow hair. What a stupid movie. Watchable in a I can?t believe people made this sort of way, this is an action film that was probably doomed from the get go before the low budget, fake breakaway sets and poor action direction were even a twinkle in a producers eye. Watch how late in the film as cars drive through the school (don?t ask) they crash into the security turret (don?t ask since it looks more like a prison then a high school) and smash its barely constructed form apart(it doesn't look like it did in earlier shots). What hath the gods of bad movies wrought? Actually I?m perplexed since this was directed (?) by Sydney J Furie, a really good director who made films like The Boys in Company C. Has his ability failed him, or was this hopeless from the get go and he didn't even bother? It?s a turkey. A watchable one but a turkey none the less.

When that dude rode the Motorcycle after the kid in the wheelchair in the hallway, I almost cried I laughed so hard.This is one of those movies that made me sad to be Canadian for a minute there(until I remembered that if I were American I'd have to put up with Moore).Is the white kid in this movie the same guy who was on that Lassie show back about 5 years ago? Wow, this is getting sadder and sadder.Bow and arrows vs guns...Oh wait, let's make this deep by having war flashbacks.I advise everybody against watching this movie. At least their school float had spikes and fireballs.
