- CMoreMovies18. januar 2026I can't imagine police, even corrupt police, waiting to respond until three hours after a bazooka goes off on school grounds, but hey, it's the 90s! A product of it's time, this movie had solid characters and acting, but suffered from a bipolar story that somehow combined a touch of the anti-war, dreamer, post-Vietnam sentiment, with a healthy helping of the militant, bad-ass righteousness present for the War on Drugs. I like that the film is trying to say something with it's patchwork morals. "Don't do drugs, kids," and "live by the sword, die by the sword" are good messages. Having the American military, rogue as Shale's possie is, roll into a minority-run, underprivileged high school and deliver said messages, in part at gunpoint, is a less-good, thoughtless way of getting these messages across. If you want to see a white, macho, leading man from the 80s or 90s blow away nameless villains watch Die Hard; the action is better, and so is the writing.
