When a Brooklyn high school student writes the police code for homicide, 187, inside a textbook owned by teacher Trevor Garfield, Garfield feels threatened. The principal dismisses the incident, but the same student stabs Trevor soon after. Fifteen months later, a physically and emotionally scarred Trevor relocates to California and takes up substitute teaching. To his dismay, his new school is as full of dangerously undisciplined students as his old one—including four Latin Americans and a European American claiming membership in tagging gang K.O.S. (Kappin' Off Suckers)—driving him over the edge.

One of Sam Jacksons better movies. Interesting thriller.

Tyler Fredendall

One of Sam Jackson’s most underrated films. A harrowing thriller about teacher gone bad in a rough school. The tension & anger builds on you

One of the more underrated movies of Samuel L Jackson. Follows a substitute teacher with a grudge.

Top notch psychodrama. Jackson is at the top of his game.

Tyler Edwin Nestor

It’s well acted and pretty intense at times but I’ve seen better Samuel L. Jackson films. Though that doesn’t make this film bad.

A good movie for its subject matter. Otherwise just average.

Mother FN Woman

A thin plot with characatures and stereotypes. The performances are solid, but the writing is just so aweful!!

You’d never guess there would be a murder in this movie.

justice and revenge which tries to justify itself as 'the right thing to do' but falls short of making its point clear

An underrated Samuel L. Jackson movie. It’s dark, gritty and doesn’t shy away from heavy subject matter but does start to strain credibil
