Okay so how do you spell weird. This movie was not so much scarey as it was strange. Okay so maybe I jumped a few times during the movie.

Watch Sam Jackson in "A time to kill" its a better movie and explores really the same theme, when is it okay to kill? Where is that line?
-
MCT:March 17, 2008Appearing to be another Dangerous Minds rip off, 187 is more realistic and honest, whilst also delivering a knockout punch and an unbelievable ending. Samuel L. Jackson does everything you're not expecting. Great!

MCT:March 4, 2008I enjoy this movie, and that is rare since it is a Sam L. moive. I really only like him in a few movies and that is not very good since he has made SO many movies. I like the realizim of the gang members and teachers. Great film.

This movie is the king of all teacher movies. Forget dangerous minds this movie is one of Samuels best performances. I really felt Samuel put all is heart into this role and it shows big. It takes me back to the olden dayz.(?)

MCT:October 23, 2007Samuel L. at his best! A must see! Good music and cinematics....A few tracks from this soundtrack are from Massive Attack's album "No Protection: Massive Attack vs. Mad Professor" Method Man even makes an appearance in this!

Best movie Ive ever seen... Im a teacher... just like you. Great movie, starring Samuel L. Jackson. I highly recommend it if you have grown up with gang violence... or if you have ever wanted to teach someone something about how life is and how it should be... definately a great pick.

This movie is toned down in scale compared to most Sam Jackson flicks, but he delivers his usual intensity. Worth a watch.

One Eight Seven schetst het ruwe leven uit een achtergestelde en criminele buurt in Amerika. Samuel L. Jackson, die hier een bijzondere acteerprestatie neerzet, is een leraar die zich niet neerlegt bij de feiten en besluit op eigen houtje actie te ondernemen. Daarbij ontspoort hij uiteindelijk zelf volledig. Deze film is geen goed idee voor je romantisch avondje voor de buis. Vooral de climax van de film zal nog een tijdje blijven hangen. Heel scherp en hard allemaal, maar beslist de moeite!

This movie is so incredible! I've seen it several times and it always gets to me. Sam Jackson is awesome, I'd watch anything he's in. Actually everyone in this film is on top of their game. I highly recommend this film.

A well done movie, I saw it a long time ago and I downloaded it the other day just to watch it again. I had forgotten the powerful story behind this movie, and the ending that left me breathless.
-
MCT:May 21, 2007This film tells you at the end it was written by a teacher. If it takes till the end to figuire that out then you should go back to school. Nice cinematography make up for the clumsy plot about violence in schools and targeting teachers.

A surprisingly effective film with Samuel L. Jackson in a brilliant role. Thrilling through its ups and downs to its shocking consclusion.

**SPOILER ALERT**
Powerful and gripping Drama, which starts fantastically from the beginning. Samuel L Jackson is in career-best form-(again) and John Heard is good back-up support. This is a real wake-up call to America to get their shithouse education system to put more oney into schools so the kids that go to these schools won't feel like they have to become gangsta.
The only dissapointing thing about this movie is the ending. Sure... I can understand why they didn't go for a Hollywood ending, but would that young punk really risk a bullet for "honour". It's very very doubtful. Overall, great movie, go and watch it now. -

A teacher wrote this movie. - The ending is what makes this movie awesome; the rest is all build up. That's not to say this is a bad movie, but the rest of the film just doesn't compare to the showdown between student and teacher. And the student in this movie is fucking evil; especially when you see him at home, that scene makes you hate him. And it takes Sam Jackson to put him in his place. - "That's IT!
I have had it with these MOTHERFUCKING STUDENTS in my MOTHERFUCKING CLASSROOM!!" -

Only Samuel L. Jackson could offer the defiance needed to effectively do this sort of movie. His brave, hard-boiled urban school teacher who single handedly challenges an adolescent hispanic gang for the sake of his other students has a nobility that is matched only by the sheer pathos of its conclusion.
