Author: lee-todman from South Africa

This has to be the ultimate teenage rebellion movie and it does not get better than this. An attack on the media - I don't think so, the media as usual always turn things upside down. The plot, Directing and acting were top class especially Stephen Dorf. I am 40 years old and can still enjoy watching this movie, it's just so dam good. I bought this movie as soon as it was released on DVD, it's a classic and I think it will remain that way for many years. Anybody who didn't enjoy this movie might want to see it again and get a fresh perspective. The truth it tells about society and the media is brilliant and if you cant see that then you must be blind. Top class movie and well done to everyone involved.
