SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
adonis98-743-186503 A heroic high school teacher leads a band of students trapped in school by violent drug-runners. Detention is directed by Sidney J. Furie the man who gave us the 1987 Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (i still like that movie tho sorry not sorry) and despite a pretty cool concept the way that it's executed? It's far from a good one and even more far from an actual good and memorable Dolph Lundgren movie plus most of the acting? Was way over the top and hard to even be taken seriously even for a few seconds at least. Detention is pretty bad actually. (0/10)
Destroyer Wod I watch pretty much all those B action movies i can find, even tough i know some will be mediocre and very low budget. More often than not they got a little something to catch me in, no matter if its Seagal, Van Damme, Lundgren or some others like that. Sometimes i actually enjoy them a lot.This movie is just below the middle of those. I tough the plot was really "streched" to fit the movie, the character over the top overacted but not in a good way. Take Van Damme's Ennemies Closer bad guy character, he was over the top but hilarious and kick ass. Here the bad guy was just getting on my nerve from being so retarded.But the movie has a couple little surprises and Dolph even tough pretty "ordinary" do a correct job as the lead. Somewhat i just didn't felt for the other characters at all, either because the villains where so corny and cartoon or the character development was just too poor.Also i must note i didn't saw such bullet spraying all over the place and target missing since Commando... Seriously the bad guys couldn't hit the characters 10 feet away barely moving. It was sad to look at. Its like the bullets where just deflecting on an invisible barrier...In any case like i said, i saw worst from Dolph, but i saw much better, and im only counting his low budget DTV movies, not expendables and such.
crystalart I'm not sure where this genre got it's start. 'Blackboard Jungle'? It's also reminiscent of Tom Berenger's 'Substitute 1' and '2'.Dolph's lean, and in top form, as he takes on recalcitrant students and a gang that's bent on taking over the high school.The gang members have lots of strangely colored hair, assorted tattoos and body piercings, if you like that sort of thing, but when they shoot they can't seem to hit anything.I especially enjoyed watching the thug on a motorcycle in a high school hallway who could neither catch nor hit with a machine gun a cripple running away in a wheel chair.Grab the popcorn and settle back for an hour and a half of not too serious fun.
dbborroughs Cheezy action movie starring Dolph Lungren. Lungren is a one time military man who has retreated into a teaching job. But the changes in the neighborhood and the student body have left him frustrated and he decides that he?s going to hang it up. Things get dicey when while watching over a bunch of students in detention some robbers take over the school as a base of operation for an armored car robbery. Its Dolph versus the baddies in a fight to the death. Jaw dropping throw back to the exploitation films of the late grindhouse era where bad guys dressed as punks and some of the bad women had day glow hair. What a stupid movie. Watchable in a I can?t believe people made this sort of way, this is an action film that was probably doomed from the get go before the low budget, fake breakaway sets and poor action direction were even a twinkle in a producers eye. Watch how late in the film as cars drive through the school (don?t ask) they crash into the security turret (don?t ask since it looks more like a prison then a high school) and smash its barely constructed form apart(it doesn't look like it did in earlier shots). What hath the gods of bad movies wrought? Actually I?m perplexed since this was directed (?) by Sydney J Furie, a really good director who made films like The Boys in Company C. Has his ability failed him, or was this hopeless from the get go and he didn't even bother? It?s a turkey. A watchable one but a turkey none the less.
