Last the Night

In fact, there are too many stupid and far-fetched plot twists to call this a quality movie. If the actors for the role of caste teenagers were more or less chosen, then a very colorful character was chosen for the role of the teacher. I don't know how it is in the USA, but in my country such a man would not be admitted to any educational institution. Very cool dude, he also teaches history. There is nothing here that could really capture the living. There are no feelings for schoolchildren, the main character's psychosis somehow does not stick. The authors did not even manage to explain his motives - why did he become like this? All this together makes the film weak and barely reaches at least 3 points.

IN A NUTSHELL: During the pandemic, a burned-out teacher on the verge of a breakdown overhears his students making fun of him in a zoom class and vows revenge. The violent movie was directed by Nick Leisure with co-writing help from Tom Chilcoat. Nick Leisure also With all of the school shootings and revenge murders we've had lately in this country, this movie seems problematic and will hit a disturbing chord with many viewers. THINGS I LIKED: The cast includes Brian Austin Green and a group of politically-correct diverse teens: Eve Mauro, Makena Taylor, Acorye White, and David Valdes. It's fairly suspenseful. A lot of high school teachers will be able to relate to the many frustrations the protagonist has with his job, especially during the pandemic. I personally know teachers who quit their jobs during the Covid quarantine because it was so stressful for them. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: None of the characters are likable at all. The problem with that is you don't feel invested in anyone living or dying. They're all terrible people, so you might even want them all to die. What public high school class only has 4 students in it? The budget must have been very low that it couldn't afford a few Extras. I've always enjoyed suspenseful thrillers that go on for hours to feature characters trying to survive an entire night against all odds. The ordeal at the school seemed to only last a couple of hours. There are a few super cheesy scenes with melodramatic music in Act 3. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Profanity, a million F-bombs, and crude language Violence Teens talk about intimate relations Teens drink alcohol A teenage boy is naked. We see a quick view from the back, although other characters react to seeing him from the front. A security guard smokes weed. We see bloody murders. A teen flips the bird a couple of times. Paintball guns and real guns are used. THEMES: Revenge Authority Public education Pandemic Paintball Politics Disrespect to teachers Hubris

Do not - I cannot stress this enough- piss off a burned out teacher with anger issues while he's going through a divorce. I had zero expectations for this movie, an indie with almost nothing available in the way of reviews from critics and a premiere with absolutely no attention on pay per view. I waited for it to be available on Prime or Tubi, but it would have been worth a rental. Brian Austin Green plays the aforementioned teacher and gives a performance that makes you wonder why he doesn't work more. The rest of the cast is as good, there's not a subpar performance anywhere. The only flaw really is we could use a little more backstory on how the teacher got to this point, but as it is this is solid entertainment and better than a lot of thrillers that get theatrical runs these days.
