Assassination of a High School President

#1 Post by crispoke » Mon Nov 02, 2009 3:41 pm

Watched this the other night and loved it. The whole cast are fantastic (Bruce Willis hamming it up in partic) The Noirish elements mixed with teen drama make it for a kind of 'Brick'fast Club (sorry, could resist that! :D :roll: )

Sadly the distribution company went bust before a theatrical release, so straight to dvd it went, although there was a campaign amongst american critics to try and get it a limited cinema run. I'm not so sure the trailer does it justice, but well worth checking out!

"Forget it, Jake. It's...high school. With its noir roots, this stylish dark comedy pays homage to Roman Polanski's Chinatown. Reece Thompson stars as a school newspaper writer who uncovers a conspiracy that is rampant among the students and teachers. Mischa Barton plays the young femme fatale, while Bruce Willis is an unhinged principal."
