Featured review
I like it!
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.
