The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Sadly to say the movie reflects a problem that still 2014 is common in schools and other communities. The movie maker has not just brilliantly shown how the main character experiences the situation. But also brought forward an aspect of the inner workings of ones mind that is exposed to these situations.. To accomplish this with what till a start looks like a low budget movie.. It's nothing less than brilliant. I for one wish that this movie was around when i was young and was experiencing events not quite as harsh as these, but still. If this movie had been around, maybe one could have gathered more courage from it. I believe that it is right in time and could be of good use to a lot of people. So I hope people will spread this movie to people experiencing these problems.. Anyway.. Good Job on bringing us a great movie!
