Extracurricular Activities

This was a fun film with a very well written script that will keep you entertained till the very end. The plot was simple and the acting was excellent. Even though some scenes were sort of predictable there was enough twists and turns to keep it smart and interesting. Definitely worth a watch as I rated it a solid 7, for very fair.

I had not expected much from this film when I saw the film cover on my Firestick. I gave it a shot anyway and was pretty surprised. The films quality is shot like a big production and the narrative was actually quite original. The film follows a 17yr old high school student who is extremely bright and unusually industrious, offering a "murder for hire" service to his fellow students. It is apparent there is no shortage of customers at his school. Not to divulge too much, the films quality's lie in the relationships and interaction with the main character and a hapless detective who is hot on his trail throughout. Really good performances from all concerned. A good script and clever dialog kept me interested throughout. Way better then I expected!

Who would have thought such an innocuous title could be so surprisingly good. Extracurricular Activities is one of those films you may be tempted to overlook and I get that. Based on its cover and initial impressions it looks like a B in a bad way kind of movie.

That said don't judge this film by its cover.Beneath its cheesy exterior lies a darkly witty, cleverly written tale that mixes any teen drama you care to name, with a "Dexter" style twist.

A well deserved 8/10 from me.

This one is a light hearted black comedy if those two descriptions can go together. Clever with a decent twist that I certainly hadn't anticipated. So happy we abandoned Wreck It Ralph II after 10 minutes to watch this instead.

This was quite a hidden gem, well scripted, well acted and the twists and turns kept you gripped. It was very inventive and had a touch of the Desperate Housewives about it, where the most heinous crimes seem normalised within a suburban setting.

Very enjoyable and some very promising actors displaying convincing performances.
