It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Its my job to check movies. And I've seen a lot. The good, the bad and the ugly.This flick is one of the most boring and bad written films I've ever seen. There are movies with small budget, where you can see some kind of commitment or flashes of ideas.This movie is an absolute disaster!!! It is more fun to visit the dentist and get your teeth removed without painkillers, than watching this 90 minutes of nonsense.But the worst of all: This is the most terrible, illogical and uninteresting script ever written! It even tops the lack of talent by the actors or their unwillingness to perform...The teacher doesn't even know the bad guy, but doesn't inform the police about a murderer, because she is afraid of him? Are you kidding me? She waits until another guy gets shot. And then she got her great calling for justice and gets the feeling, she could help out as a witness...After seeing this movie, i'm disturbed. Not by the film itself, but by the fact that someone is willing to pay for this kind of c*** or/and sacrifice 90 minutes of his/ her lifetime.

A story with a very good plot soon falls into absolute bedlam. An English teacher at a troubled high school witnesses a shooting of drug dealing student by a drug lord on the way to school one morning and decides with her boyfriend, the physics teacher at the school, to keep quiet about what she has seen.Sounds great. Right? The story falls apart after the teacher witnesses a second drug associate assaulted, later he is killed as well.When the head of the gang realizes that the teacher has witnessed both incidents, he decides that it is time to take action. He will get the teacher, not kill her, but just beat her to teach her a lesson.The ridiculous part comes when the teacher has landed school detention for 3 students on Saturday. This is a definite no-no in any system. The dealers decide that they will get the teacher there. Knowing the danger, the principal and police allowed the teacher and the recalcitrant students assigned to detention to go to the school. What is going on here? Who would ever place students in such open danger? What were the writers of this story thinking?Two of the dealers associates accompany him to the school. One is a literal fat-head, stupid to the core and the story becomes one of the 3 trying to break into the fire-proof room to get at the teacher. The mayhem that goes on is beyond belief. After a while, our teacher decides to go out and meet her culprits.Ridiculous, inane, you've got to believe it. Can't imagine that such bad writing did this film in.
