sweetsugar_13 to be honest i practically loved that movie...in the time i rented it i think i watched it about 12 times. The sad thing is now that most of the movie rental stores got rid of it. i was so angry i tried to go rent it last night, i went to three stores and none of them had it. But i don't think i have ever cried so hard in a movie, ever. It is a movie that makes you think, but get scared all at the same time, it makes you wonder would someone i know ever do this? but it's doubtful. i tried to make a lot of my friends watch this movie, but most of them said no, and like me, agree that it is an amazing movie and think that the way is made and how the actors act in it is completely brilliant. i don't think there is any other movie that i've seen like it yet.
duhnelsons Really a good piece of work. The director should have focused more on Jason's experiences that led up to his siege of the high school. I think the scariest sequence was when Jason had all of the bullets lined up on his desk at home. That was really the point that caught my attention. It pulled me into the story right away with just that little scene. It shows that he actually means to go through with his plan. One moment I thought might ruin the movie was when Jason took off his shirt and came down with the object behind his back. I thought it might be the cell phone and that they might shoot him. If that would have happened, the movie would have been worthless. But it might have been better than him waiting for his time to be up.
RebelGurl4Eva SPOILERSwell i just got done watching this movie on tv and i have to saw i am really impressed. everybody did a great acting job, especially rick schroder and alexis cruz.it's about a guy, jason copeland, who goes back to his high school to shoot the teachers who flunked him out of school. he thinks they've ruined his life, especially one mr..something..can't remember his name. a local cop, skip (henry winkler), must convince jason (rick) to let go of the 60 some odd kids he's holding hostage.i'm amazed by schroder's acting job. he developed/portrayed a charactor that you wanted to hate but couldn't help feeling sorry for. through everything he had done, i was still sorry to learn at the end of the movie that he was on death row. he mixed terrifying outbursts and vulnerability with dark humor that still made you laugh. (on the phone with skip, jason demands food for his hostages: "i want 15 pepperoni pizzas, 5 packs of root beer, 5 of cola, and i want it all here in less than 15 minutes!!" meanwhile the kids are all clapping and cheering behind him).i would recommend this movie to everybody. it's very very good. plus, schroder's charactor looked a lot like kurt cobain (who i personally think is very good looking).-laura p.s. if you didn't already figure it out, it's a true story.
TheEtherWalk SPOILER This is a really good movie, great acting all around. It deals with a school shooting back in the early nineties with a guy who looks an awful lot like Kurt Cobain. The hostage negotiator had to talk him down and make him believe he would only get 4 years. It is all very sad when we see that he was put on death row. That makes the ending a bit of a downer.
