Review of One Eight Seven (1997) by Movie Man C — 05 Jun 2012
If you are a teacher, in the UK, and think you've got it tough here, watch this movie. Sometimes people do actually want to help others to achieve and in doing so make things worse. It's a compelling storyline of a teacher in a very rough, gang populated, school trying to make something for his students other than a life of drugs and crime.
This takes its toll on Mr Garfield (Samuel L Jackson) and other means of teaching them lessons are adopted to put his point accross. It's a great character driven storyline and depending on your outlook on life you'll find yourself siding with some characters more than others.
Definetly not a feel good film, more thought provoking than anything else. Brilliantly shot and the acting it first rate.
