The Student

The movie overall was a little better than I thought it would be, however it was slightly predictable as this sort of story line has been covered before.

Acting,story,directing are all atrocious. Very unconvincing and poorly directed.

Blake Michael late of the Disney Channel stars in this film which is about as far from the Magic Kingdom as you can get. He's a law student and having a tough time of it. The fact he's also psychotic doesn't help.

Professor Alicia Leigh Willis is flunking him in her ethics course and he can't have it. He's under some great pressure from his mom and stepdad. So Blake embarks on a campaign of terror dredging up her past. She's now teaching law because back in the day she prosecuted a man who was executed and later turned out to be innocent.

What can I say but this is trashy and cheap without any entertainment value. The goofy teen from Dog With A Blog doesn't quite cut it as a psycho.

I expected Stan the talking dog to come in and straighten everything out.

THE STUDENT is poorly written, poorly acted, poorly shot, and just plain boring. Never, even once, is any performance in this movie ever truly felt, so I didn't feel it either. The law students depicted are perhaps the worst, most inept potential attorneys ever, and legal principles are grossly misrepresented and/or misunderstood. God save us from the products of this law school.

This is a crappy, annoying movie with unlikable, unbelievable characters you won't care about. Spare yourself.

This is a bad and cheap TV movie. I thought I was watching a Russian film with the same title but it was this one. The script is just terrible. An example, it opens with the first day of class at the university. The professor asks a question and the student answers it perfectly. So the professor tells him "I hope you're not one of those who relies on his good looks and charm to pass*. Like this it has many other memorable moments that actually had me bursting out laughing.

At no point does the movie try to be good. It's presented as what it is. So you know crazy things will happen and actually have fun sitting through them. I must say one of the few good things of the movie was the lead actress. She was able to keep a straight face through the script and act like this could actually happen.
