Critic Reviews

Albert Williams

This suspenseful, beautifully acted Dickensian drama forces us to confront our own bloodlust: do we root for the teen to win a moral victory or to beat the bad guy to a pulp? Read full review

John McMurtrie

A gripping story of one teen's rebellion against his peers' sadistic abuse. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Director Mikael Hafstrom - the gentleman responsible for last year's Jennifer Aniston bomb "Derailed" - keeps us guessing as he confidently builds suspense. Read full review

Scott Tobias

It's more about giving rich bullies the same comeuppance afforded to sneering wardens with bullwhips, and on those superficial grounds, it's reasonably gripping. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

This didactic drama is set safely in the past and says nothing about the culture of conformity at all costs that hasn't been said before. Read full review

Michael Phillips

Bullying is not easy to watch on screen, even--or perhaps especially--if the viewer had the fortune to avoid either side of the bully/bullied equation. Read full review

Robert Abele

Director Mikael Hafström's dramatic sense is so pedestrian and snail's-pace obvious -- since this 2003 feature, he's made the leap to Hollywood with the plodding thriller "Derailed" -- one starts biding time for the inevitable retributive smackdown that will save our hero from the gantlet of draggy high-mindedness about counteracting fascism with stony resolve.

I absolutely loved this movie. The director is marvelous, as are the cast and screenplay. Little wonder it was nominated for an Academy Award in 2004 for best Best Foreign Language Film. Rent it soon.

When a human stands up for basic rights and decency in a fascistic society, it is seen as rebellion. This is the story of one such "rebel." Well-acted story that does a good job of falling into the standard formula.

This is just to note my score for this movie which I watched long time ago and totally forgot the details.
