Poor Urban Drama
25 March 2001
I thought this movie was terrible. Full of poor acting (this coming from someone who loves James Belushi) and an even worse plot. I could barely stomach Belushi's "Dirty Harry" tactics for taking back an urban school. I dunno, maybe I didn't realize it was an action film and not a drama, which is what I expected, but I was personally hoping for a better dealing with issues in this movie, like a young teenage mother, and the community in which this school is in. Why didn't he consult with the community and the police to get help dealing with this situation? I don't know. I suppose if the movie actually dealt with that issue, then you'd lose the action audience...
