Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

High-school shenanigans as Siemaszko is asked by Wise, editor of the student newspaper, to write a profile of the new kid in class without actually knowing that the subject is the meanest badass ever to stalk a lunch-hour corridor. Joanou, later to find greater exposure with the concert picture U2 Rattle and Hum and the Oldman/Penn crime movie State of Grace, directs with a lot of energy, but the material just isn't there.
