Review of Three O'Clock High (1987) by J M — 17 Oct 2015
I always tell whoever is about to watch this movie the same thing... If you can make it through the first 4 minutes you will be just fine. See the 80's was a confusing time full of confusing and terrible ideas.
Especially when it came to music and clothes, so I guess the director thought that 4 minute song in the intro was going to be a big hit. Well it wasn't, in fact it was fucking awful. With that being said the movie only sky rockets up from there.
The main protagonist is from a breed of teenage actors that no longer exists anymore sadly. He is convincing and likable. The bully may be a 34 year old psychopath but fuck it, he works, it works, and the movie is fucking awesome.
Even the 80's music nearing the end is way better than expected and ALMOST makes up for the 4 minute nightmare in the beginning. Three O'Clock High shows me two things: the first that simplicity works, and second, you don't need young shit for brain models for actors.
