School's Out Forever

Good film, great cast, but it's Oscar Kennedy's brilliant acting that brings this film to life, he carries this film single handedly.

This film calls back to many British cult classics. Shaun of the Dead, 28 Days Later and Lord of the Flies come together in a whirl wind of action, humour, gore, with a dark take on 'survival of the fittest' running through it. It's refreshing to see a writer and director making such genre-bending and bold choices, and not shying away from the bleaker moments. It's a rollercoaster ride and I loved it.

The movie was okay, the main character thou was a let down. His school is being attacked, the ladies daughter is crippled and she wants revenge... Mac his best friend sets out a defense plan to protect the school. Lee is useless, doesn't shoot anyone and because of that more of his friends die. Mac does what is needed to protect the school and his friends, in the end Lee finally grows a pair and pulls the trigger but instead of it being an enemy he blows his best friends head up. Mac did go to far when he killed their teacher but Lee could have been there to hold him in check as the rest of his ideas and decisions where for the best. Storyline wise it's nothing special, pandemic, no law and order, shootout at the school. 6/10 from me, great performance by the actor who played Mac and Matron. Lee pretty much just walked around with his mouth hanging open half the time... Wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a good movie to watch, would recommend if you looking for a okay movie to pass the time with and have a laugh or two.

Troublemaker Lee Keegan gets kicked out of an all-boys private school. Soon after, the world is hit with an apocalyptic pandemic and only those who have O neg blood type survive. He goes back to the school to rendezvous with his mother who is trying to journey home. I have a tough time rooting for anybody other than the nurse. First, the main kid is a brat. He's annoyingly whiney while trying to project boyish charms. His friend is a psychopath. The boys are mostly Lord-of-the-Flies proto-frat-boys. They spend their time drinking rather than preparing for the inevitable attack. Quite frankly, I'm surprised that they didn't rape the paralyzed prisoner. The teacher is pathetic and arrogant. I don't like most of these people. I do like the nurse's final act. I like some of the action. It would help if Lee is a more likeable character.

A reasonably decent film, one of the few films this year worth watching.

This wasn't awful by any stretch of the imagination but it also was really that great. It worth a watch if you have nothing better to do. Generous 6.5/10

Can't really understand the hate for this movie, it's an okay watch, completely unbelievable, but that's why its called fiction. Fine to pass the time.

With heavy pandemic issues in real time and a rather rusty filmindustry, this is a progress on moviemaking that i hope will proceed in the years to come... its a apocalyptic drama where a virus, seemingly much more deadly than the corona variants we're dealing with in situ, more like the black plague kind of disease is my guess. its played out at a ''private school'' for boys with posh students and rather old fashion administrative structures and orders. its a pretty locked up, closed fence society with little input from the outer world, so when one of the students gets expelled for pranking the schools property, he is met with societal decay and selfjustice due to pandemic panic and has to protect his own home and ill father with anything at hand. eventually he gets back to the school premises where the fortification of the school has already begun. its a film about inner justice, prowling,vigilantees murder as selfdefence and murder to survive. its also a film that creates and differs men from humans and heros from humans, and woman into monsters. its a well acted movie , even though there are some pretty mediocre theater in periods, but that is more a lack of fantasy and a rigorious way of direction by the directors,writers and producers. so the acting rescources and loads of additional scientific material could have been used to make it even better, but when the tough gets going it gets hot, and ill admit that my shoulders were up under my ears at moments. the squemish viewer will for surtain ask why, what, where and how come, e.g. howcome these students were immunized and not becoming ill after being in touch with the lepracons, and where is the governments task forces. its also an issue how to make an end to a story like this, i didnt like the finals, but it gives some opportunities for a sequeling update in the near future. so one songs chimes in my ears after viewing thish british pandemic havoc, cause frankie goes to hollywood once sang'' when two tribes goes to war ,a point is all that you can score''. let this be the point as the grumpy old man gives a recommend. it is what it is, a progression in quality filmaking, done with a twist even though the generic replication here and there.

This isn't a bad watch by no means. It has its drama, action, and a story line to go with it.

Really tense action packed film. Although set in a pandemic, the plot is driven by some interesting character decisions.
