The leads were awesome! It looked good. The cinematography was great. A bold story of bravery in the face of a real life horror. Raises some questions about school policies when it comes to active shooters that I think need to be talked about. Does not glorify the shooters but also appropriately portrays some characteristics that should be examined (i.e. hearing voices, bullying, and other red flags). Feels like Die Hard meets Red Dawn.

Makes you think
2 November 2013
This movie is one that has an encouraging message about the value of life very much like Its a Wonderful Life. It will make you think and want to talk about it with someone immediately after.
It has been a while since I have seen a good movie with a Sixth Sense type revelation at the end.
Though it is rated PG 13 it is a clean film. Here is the content in case you are wondering
Language: no four letter words.
Violence: there is a gunman who tries to hold up a bar for $ there are a few wild shots fired, punches thrown, bottles thrown, very little blood. Later there is an attempted murder and characters respond aggressively in self defense.
Sexuality: a character tries (unsuccessfully) to seduce another (implied nudity). Man in a towel after a shower.
Themes: Accusation of attempted rape. Alcoholism and heavy drinking. Mysterious Stalker presence implied throughout the first two acts.
In my opinion all edgy/questionable content is not glorified, instead it is contrasted against the positive choices made by the upstanding lead character who displays good morals and decision making.
I recommend it.
