Patzer
When Frank is being questioned by the school's auditor about his flights to London, the auditor mentions Frank had booked first class on Concorde. In reality all Concorde seats were the same class, so there were no first class.

Zitate
Frank Tassone: My problem? My problem is you. Carol, it's the people who trot their poor children out like race horses at Belmont; who derive some perverse joy out of treating us like low-level service reps. I mean, do you remember the teachers who sat with you, who held you by the hand, who taught you to add and subtract, or showed you Gatsby, Salinger, for the first - Mockingbird even? Do their names escape you? Are their faces a blur? You listen to me! You don't want to see us as people because that is not convenient for you. You just leave us behind, at will. Never think about us again. You might forget, but we don't. We never forget. Ever.

8/10

Masterclass acting by Hugh jackman

A Solid Refreshing Script with Brilliant direction, Hugh jackman gave An Award-winning performance. My rating 8/10.

Bad Education, movie Based on a true story of America's largest school theft, a scandal of 11 million dollars from Roslyn school district. Prime suspects Frank Tassone, Pam Gluckin played by Hugh jackman and Allision Gluckin respectively. Frank Tassone, superintendent of Roslyn district schools who genuinely cares about students, does what's best for their students, remembers everyone's name, and overly concerned about his physical appearance. Pam Glukin is a hardworking, trusted individual. Everything goes smoothly until a student investigates for funds for her school article.

Bad Education is absolutely captivating, for some the first 30 min might seem a little boring, in fact, nothing happens, we don't know what's happening it just builds characters and sets environment, after that movie jumps, instantly hooks until the end of the movie, we see another side of the characters, unfolding the story through student journalist. The screenplay how of the story unravels interestingly wrote by Mike Makowsky. After seeing the movie Surprised to know this is an only second directorial film by Cory Finley, did a good job.

Hugh jackman Easily the best part of the movie, with his charisma, deep acting, facial expressions, as the movie progresses he changes shades of character really given a masterclass acting. Not only in the movie in real Hugh jackman worked as a teacher, and also remembers his student's name, as we all know how nice is this guy. For me, this is the best acting of Hugh after Les Miserables ( 2012), Prisoners (2013). Alison Janney's performance was amazing.

Verdict - A character study of how these two individuals who are reasonably good people, did a bad thing and broke the trust of people brilliantly written and directed. Terrific performance By Hugh Jackman.

Bad Education (2020), Drama/biography/thriller Directed By Cory Finley, screenplay - Mike Makowsky, he was in middle school in the Roslyn school district during this true scandal took place. Cast - Hugh jackman, Alison Janney, Geraldine Viswanathan.
