This movie was straight up incredible. The acting from miles teller and j.k. Simmons was outstanding, they gave 2 of the greatest performances in the whole of 2014. the story, while being a little cut and dry, is still pretty great and is a good backdrop for the fantastic performances given in this movie. And of course, I have to talk about the tension in this movie. I've seen action movies, thrillers, horror movies, some intense stuff go down, and NOTHING i have seen compare to the tension that is built in this movie. The pressure put on this kid who has the potential to be truly great, that is put on him by this sadistic yet brilliant teacher, creates this level of tension that is ever rising and it just builds and builds until your literally on the edge of your seat saying to yourself I hope its gonna all work out. When you watch this movie, turn off your laptop, phone, and all other distractions because your gonna wanna get into this one. Fantastic movie
