The Final (2010)

Excellent but underrated film

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

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.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The Final is a B-class horror BUT If you see it as metaphor or simile it perfectly illustrates the psychological processes of bullying. An introv. kid became neonazi. A nice girl became aggressive animal. And bulliers have rotten in his/her deep before their 18th.I hope once sby will make an A+ class movie about this topic. Every victim can be suicid / schoolshotter / serialkiller, but they are still victims. Similar situations could be prevented by prevention of school bullying.

This movie is bad. Cinematography is quite OK but acting is awful. Actually acting is not THE problem: it's the story that lacks of rhythm. Watching is a torture so I fast forwarded, but later it was boring as before.Furthermore the plot is totally not believable. Bullies are kids like the others: they are not nice, but definitely they do not deserve those tortures!Are the bullied psychopaths? No, they are not. Psychos do not need a whole night to exploit their madness. So what are they? I wish I knew! The characters are so badly designed that they even fail to be amusing, like in Saw or in Texas Massacre to name a few. They are meaningless.So the movie fails to be an horror because it is too mild and it fails to be a drama because it is far from realistic and you cannot fell empathy for any of the characters.Don't waste your time, do not watch this movie.2/10

I seen this movie when it was released and thought it had a great scheme to the plot. I searched for and began to watch this movie again. The plot itself is interesting in that i cannot think of one that resembles its ideas and extent.The movie was enjoyable for me, i liked the idea and the arousal of a young group of psychotic individuals getting even,plotting out their dark twisted fantasy.Although the movie was fun, i think it could have been scripted better. I say this as some of the lines in the movie seemed too expected, too inevitable, "ah yes, i knew he was going to say that or something like it". There isn't very much shock factor from this movie. With a bigger budget and some more emotional disturbed components to the acting, this movie could have been great. Although it isn't an edgy movie that will keep you hiding under your bed sheets, the movie didn't need it. Nonetheless a movie i would enjoy to see again.

There is only one actor I recognized in this film, so I assumed then that there would be poor acting and I would eventually shut it off. I was wrong. Not only was there good acting, but I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. This movie shows you what pushing someone to their limit can lead to. This movie is mainly about retaliation against the popular crowd. The outcasts gang together to put a stop to the torture in the hallways. This movie has gore, violence, and a good depiction of what bullying can be like in high school. I too was bullied growing up and later bullied kids back in anger. Luckily I didn't mess with anyone crazy enough to attack back like they do in this movie. It is sad to think that this stuff actually happens. After this movie, I definitely will watch for who i mistreat. You never know what could come of it...
