A Lethal Lesson

There's probably about 20 minutes left in this movie as I'm writing this. The principal makes me want to fast-forward to get to the ending already! He has me doing plenty of eye-rolls at how quickly his disposition changed! Don't get me started on the red-head teacher.

In the beginning, I instantly thought I knew who it was. Then towards the middle, I became conflicted. But my second guess was right all along! I've been binging on LMN movies on SlingTV and this is one of the top few I've watched that's good! Yes, the SL is very similar but I think it has a twist because it keeps you guessing. This reminds me of the "old" Lifetime movie days!!

This 2021 film appears with several titles, I believe. The plot is fairly predictable with no major surprises, but the red herrings were well-crafted and served up throughout the running time.

The setup is fairly simple, with the odd question of why her best friend is murdered.

Cute kid becomes centre of our heroine's world, as she continues to mentor several hormonally-charged adolescents at her college. So far, so predictable.

The tension builds slowly (the film could have lost 40 minutes in editing without any significant impact) and maintains progress. We ramp up in the last 13 minutes when all becomes clear and the main Antagonist is fimally revealed.

Happy ending.

A thriller with a decent story and plot twists that make sense. A really enjoyable watch. I didn't quite expect anything as this film wasn't formula, and had a lot of different things. The acting is cool.
