Highschool Commando girl saves the day!!!!
20 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this film without reading any review or even seeing the trailer. As I was seeing the first scene, it got me interested after seeing Thomas Jane but I wasn't familiar with the lead actress Isabel May who reminded me a little of Florence Pugh, not only because of her looks but also her fire and spirit. The story of the film revolves around a group of deranged high school kids who decide to have a bloody shootout in their school on the senior prank day. But the moment they start killing kids like flies, it just triggers this bad feeling cause it actually resembles actual school shootouts which is not a really nice topic to be watching over the course of an entire film which is almost close to 2 hours. Now if we talk about the character played by Isabel May, the girl who single handedly managed to defeat the evil group and save the entire school, I have to say this certainly feels so unrealistic in the most possible way. I mean just because her dad was in the army and taught her how to hunt, she automatically became John Mcclane in Die Hard. Also i'm trying to understand how the group of shooters who are a bunch of teenagers managed to get rifles, weapons and bombs, and why does their leader even wants to do this, for fame, really that's it??? And why on earth does he brings with him a couple of incompetent dudes, including one who hears voices?? It feels that this film was trying to gather as many cliches and violence in one movie as possible, like the scene with the spanish teacher and how their leader Tristan asked her to take off her shirt!!!! Also the way they are so violent and aggressive, it just feels so unrealistic. And let's not forget the final scene when Tristan faked his own death and was hiding passport and money to flee, like he's some kind of a spy or James Bond. If I was a mentally deranged person and saw this film, I would surely be enticed to do what I just saw. I was terribly bothered by the violence towards students and how the story was so far fetched. I mean who needs SWAT and the police when Super Girl can save the day, right??
