    This film is a diamond in the rough and I still don't get why most people hate it. It's tense and powerful and can't leave you without having an impact. The performances are high-powered, especially the one from Kett Turton. It's one of the greatest movies portraying a school sho...( read more)oting and the one that provides the most insight to the issue. The ending of the movie is silently explosive and at last, for once a movie that is not afraid to show the truth.

    alot of people always hear the stories from uwe on sites saying "this is my fav film i ever did and most proud of" and really he has right to be with a true to life story. things that we only see going on when were in high school with the problems and the trouble every one goes t...( read more)hrough. for computer nerds who do nothing but cut him down they should see this film as it will change thier mind about him sure you can tell it did have a small budget but then again...some of the greatest films of all time did its only a shame this didnt at least get a arthouse releasing in america "came straight to dvd while alone in the dark was in post" though it had been made before house of the dead and ron howard said it to be his fav film of 2001...sure i cant give a shit what he says much but hell he is right! with a pertty good cast and sure it dose have a couple flaws like alot of movies on his timing and money but it still is a great god damn movie to show people how most schools are in this day and age...do your self a favor and just buy the fucker...only 5 bucks and most places and sit back and really think about deep shit... works some times to do that with films on this line
