    Above average gritty inner city school drama. Usher did an okay job as the ring leader. And Forest is brilliant as always...
    Look out for an early shot at Rosario Dawson.

    This movie kind of remind me of the horrible conditions found in many places in my country, specialy the reactions of the authorities. The movie was effective and well-made,the acting was okay from the whole cast and USHER was not that bad I thought he will be.

    I liked this movie a lot way back when. I recently saw a bit of it again, and I definitely don't think it's as good as I used to think, LOL

    Another piece that attempts to highlight a well-known singer, and prove that he can act. Usher proves us wrong, portraying a student frustrated with the way that his school is being run. He decides to hold the security hostage, with the help of others students that have a different charactistic to make them unique. A brainiac, gangster, and a kid that lives in the school? A combination of The Breakfast Club and Dangerous Minds.. that aren't so dangerous.

    I find it funny when Usher, who is a quad-zillionaire now, does these "tough in the hood" kind of movies. He'd get his ass kicked.

    I was introduced to this movie thru a guy. He loves it because the dude in the movie lost his dad, just like my friend did, who introduced the movie to me.

    A moving story of a group of students who fight to be heard. They don't want money or popularity all they want is the chance to learn.
