troublesometasha13 OK, for the record I HATE giving bad reviews, I appreciate the fact that real life people have put their all into a film and I feel very cruel when I can find nothing decent to say about it..... however this is possibly one of the worst movies I have ever sat through and I would like to help someone, somewhere from wasting their time watching it too. It's the kind of movie that if you happened to be one of the cast you wouldn't even tell your mates, you wouldn't want anyone to know you were in it! The start is so slow! It follows two "naughty" lads around for an age that I almost forgot we were watching a movie about a physio teacher plotting revenge! The acting from the bad boys was absolutely tragic! The second they started speaking I knew it wasn't going to be a great movie, but as the boys were already ticking me off at that point I persevered watching as I wanted to see them reach a grizzly end! Lol. Getting to that was painful though... why is it these bad movies are always filled with bad sexual humour?! Shouting "skank... have you been to a STD clinic recently" is something a bottom feeder would think up to put into a film! Clearly whoever thought up lines like that has the experience themselves to be "skanky"!! Anyway **yawnnnnn** several hours later (or so it felt) the teacher eventually gets the boys locked in a torture area, he's got them tied up, ducked taped, all the boxes are starting to be ticked.... then it turns out all he wants to do is teach them a lesson... like an English lesson?! umm what, why?! Who thought watching a teacher teach children would make a good horror movie?! Basically all the teacher does is hit them with a hammer a few times if they answer wrong, one guy does get shot with a nail gun but it's hardly gripping scenes and again the acting is tragic!! To sum up one of the worst films of all time! Don't quit your day jobs guys and please don't attempt to make a sequel, occasionally English films throw up something spectacular and its movies like this that give English films a bad name!!

tkaine3 Tindal.. Your a F'ING Genius. OK like I usually state I put in reviews for movies that are not being represented properly or are overrated. Today I am focusing on "The Lesson" starring Robert Hands,Evan Bendall & Michaela Prchalov'a. Now is this movie overrated or underrated, well if your going by the IMDb rankings it would be neither.Let me explain. The user reviews are right on the money for anyone who gave a 8 or higher rating. But The rating ranking is 4.5 out of 10 which is such a terrible display of a ranking for an amazing movie it kinda upsets me that the critics could rate this movie so low. or maybe that's just a collective ranking from users and critics whatever the case may be "The Lesson" is a captivating intelligent gruesome and invigorating film displaying a teachers passion to teach at all costs and a students ability to learn on any level if pushed to the limit. The acting by Robert Hands was definitely some of the best work I have ever seen. Maybe this role was so close to his actual real life personality for him to pull it off so well but regardless of that he displayed award winning talent and he should definitely be considered in the league of A- list actors.The camera angles,The writing,the directing was also superb and the other actors were all sufficient but I felt there roles could of easily been replaceable by someone else which was not the case for Robert Hands who stole the show. The only reason I did not give it a 10 was because of added scenes towards the end which I feel were sort of useful for filling out the story and giving you the whole spectrum of the finalized result but it kinda thru off the speed or pace of the movie and I feel it would of been a more effective ending if it was 75% shorter. All in All though a great movie that is relevant in our society today and isn't that what it's really about. We watch and we learn so many things in our life time good and bad but if something isn't useful then what's the point in creating it.. Stay Safe Stay Blessed.. T.Kaine

HorrorOverEverything The premise for this really caught my interest, a teacher getting revenge on some disrespectful little brats? Sign me up. Unfortunately while watching this it became very clear that this was not going to be an ultra gory torture/revenge flick, instead it played out more like an indie drama that just happened to have a horror premise.It starts off alright enough, the two boys are unlikable but I figured that was OK since the premise of the movie is about them being kidnapped/tortured. The big problem here though is that once the boys do get captured almost the entire rest of the movie is one big monologue delivered by the teacher character. This wouldn't be so bad if it was interesting dialogue, but it really isn't, he basically just goes through a bunch of things that the boys were supposed to learn in his class. This all leads up to a very underwhelming finale.Once everything was all said and done I didn't really feel anything, the movie never had me attached or interested in any of the characters. There are a few scenes that I could tell were suppose to be artsy/deep but they just felt forced. Overall I just wasn't into this, there isn't enough drama to make this a good indie drama and there definitely isn't enough horror to make this a good horror movie. There really isn't much to see here and you would probably be better off skipping it.3/10

Blonde2291 When the students frustrate the teacher too much, what will the teacher do? Perhaps those students need a lesson - a real lesson that they will never forget in their lifetime.The teacher makes sure that the students pay full attention this time, no matter what it takes. He has all the tools for the job - nails, hammers, pliers, knives, duct tape and a brand new nail gun. And so follows a night of horror, torture and screams. But he will not stop until they learn the lesson by heart.If you have loved Panic Room (2002), Shuttle (2009) and Saw (2004), then you will enjoy this movie too.
