Detention (2003)

A gang who plans a spectacular robbery uses a high school after the class period for its activities. The problem is that there are some students and a teacher (not to mention a security guard) still in the premises of the school.

Quite absurd at its most basic level, as many reviewers pointed out: the bandits have no reason to attack anyone, to begin with, since they could do their job out of everyone's sight; second, their plan (using a police car which they will repaint) is beyond ridiculous. In terms of action, the layout is simple: the bad guys are terrible shooters, which allows the good guys to survive in all but the most direct confrontations.

Rating: 25
