Garbage

One of the worst films I've ever had the displeasure to watch utter garbage

Elephant, Mildy entertaining and a bit boring.

We watch the day of a high school masacre unfold from the view point of a few students. The plot is non-linear and achieves its objective of showing the audience what happened by flitting back and forth between students and the two killers. The style is a slow moving, quiet narrative on a very plain canvas. This is to enhance the realism and show the film in the light of a documentary.
With so many tedious and boring long pans and tracks, it gets monotonous very quickly. You have to view the end of previously shown scenes over and over again, so that you know your back in time an hour or so. This could have been done a lot better and left me tutting everytime I was about to see to students say hello to each other for the third time.
The film is quite good but it could have been less annoying at times.Read full review...

a great film showing how a ordinary school day can change the lives of people for ever as if you are actually there.

Excellent and disturbing vision of Columbine School Massacre.

Very powerful 4.5 star film. I enjoyed it as much as I was disturbed and terrified by it. Its fantastic, not overly gory and definitively worth a good watch. It will stay with you long after you have finished watching once you realise the terror experienced by those in the Columbine School Massacre.Read full review...
