Just simply out of this world,This Film was something else. Learning Curve puts a whole new meaning to the word.The Teacher "John S. Davies" was actually a RETARD. It's a pleasure to see Knew Gifted Actors.I'm a Fan of Movie Trivia and to find out that the Actor who Plays "Tony" is a Third Generation Actor/Dancer/Model of an Academy Actress, was a surprise.

Actually all of the Students in the "Cage" were Great but some you wanted to see more of Like "Kelley-Khan" (In Her Shoes), & Brandy Little (The Life Of David Gale) and the Student that's Gets Killed -"Forrest Denbow" who plays "Joey". The Students held the film and everyone I know is Catching On and Not Only Renting It, But Buying IT Also. Must Remember to Pause to take Relief Breaks and food Breaks. I didn't know Hollywood had the GUTS to make such a Brave Film with Such GIFTED young Talent that are well trained and all are Great Looking (Oops)...What Could I Be Thinking, Hollywood didn't Have the Guts..I Forgot it's an Indie, thank God for Indies, and Distributors that know what Good Film Making Is all About.Rent It Today..you won't believe It.
