Wissenswertes
The characters of the film actually parallel the students from The Breakfast Club (1995). Rosario Dawson's character is the perfect, well behaved good student (Molly Ringwald), Fredro Starr and Clifton Collins both play the criminal troublemaker (Judd Nelson), Usher plays the jock (Emilio Estevez), Sara Gilbert plays the unpopular reject girl (Ally Sheedy), while Robert Ri'chard plays the naive runt (Anthony Michael Hall). Ironically, Judd Nelson who played troublemaker John Bender in The Breakfast Club appears in the movie as a straight-laced teacher.

Patzer
At the beginning of the movie, Stephanie is tapping a purple pen on her notebook when the ceiling leaks and a close-up of her hand is shown to let us see the water. In the close-up she has a pink pen, then it cuts back to her holding the purple pen. This was fixed on the DVD but it remains on the VHS version of the movie.

Zitate
Officer Dante Jackson: Come here, son.
Lester Dewitt: Don't call me son. I'm not your son.

Interesting If Flawed

Four students at a run-down New York City high school lead a riot. When the cops show up, they take wounded school cop Forest Whitaker hostage and try to figure out what they want.

The flip description of this is a prison riot movie with the cast of The Breakfast Club, but that would be denigrating it. Despite the ubiquitous low-lighting levels for modern urban dramas, writer-director Craig Bolotin has several serious points to make, and an able cast that includes Usher, Rosario Dawson, and Judd Nelson turns in some good performances. Unhappily, Bolotin's choice of making the characters versions of John Hughes' comedy-drama characters simultaneously makes them more recognizable and distracts from his purposes (aside from the satirical).
