A heroic high school teacher leads a band of students trapped in school by violent drug-runners.
- jackmeat16 juli 2025My quick rating - 3.8/10. Having Dolph Lundgren is the only thing that makes this watchable. It can easily be described as a Die Hard without a single intelligent villain, a lack of a character with a brain, no action scenes that keep you in suspense, shall I continue? Nobody in this movie can hit the broad side of a barn with their gun. The one kid who gets shot is done so literally with the weapon touching his chest. Other than that, being stationary and 4 feet away is a safe distance against these "pros." They didn't even really bother with the logic of taking over a school to get rich. And even with their planned heist, there is no way it would get them all that rich in the first place. A pretty dumb film is putting it mildly, so unless you are in the mood to roll your eyes for 98 minutes, you can find far better things to watch, including flicks with Dolph himself.
