Honestly, after looking at all the critic reviews I've seen, the people are complaining about the screenplay "laying things too thick" and "sinking under stereotype".... Well, you must be a fool to ever say something so stupid and redundant! I mean for the love of god, the movie is for one based upon a true story and is describing the problems this school faced with ethnic groups clashing onto one another. If there's a critic in the world that would try to challenge what I say, you can honestly forget it, this movie was flawless and probably a close tie to the most important film of the past ten years other than An Inconvenient Truth in my opinion! If you have any care for the people and students in this world and want to see how bad things get with our school systems, even though this film isn't a documentary really, you NEED to see this film! It will absolutely touch your life!
