None of the thrill of the original
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...a slick, dependable, well-produced film, providing everything its audience expects of it, which, unfortunately, isn't much.

It's just as good as the original. A riveting, exciting, thrilling and action-packed thriller. A gripping, smart and effective film with an outstanding performance by Treat Williams. Schools out gets an A.
