Dismissed

Just watched The Snowman and Hangman multi million pound thrillers and this beats both of them hands down.

Great acting especially from the two main relatively unknown actors, smart story filmed well and although its not massively original "Apt Pupil" being brought to mind it does what it does well and is well worth a watch if you are looking for a decent thriller.

This is the type of film that proves you don't need a massive budget to make a good film.

As an avid lover of crime and thriller stories, I was thrilled and intrigued by the storyline when I first watched the trailer. When I watched the actual movie, the movie plot portrayed an interesting build up and really got me wondering what the antagonist is capable of doing. Unfortunately, towards the end of the movie, the quality of the storyline plummeted and the movie ending in abrupt and perfunctory manner. I personally feel that its a pity such a good story plot ended in such a mediocre ending but having said that, I would still give the producer and the actors credit as they have indeed done a great job. For those watching it, you would be in for a thrilling treat.

What a rewarding little hidden gem "Dismissed" turned out to be. Looking for passable entertainment to bide the better part of two hours, I wound up getting a credible creeper with above average acting. And from really quite unlikely sources.

Kent Osborne is a veteran creative contributor to such super successful animated franchises as "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Adventure Time". He is excellent here as a mild-mannered high school teacher who is terrorized by a disgruntled student. The unhinged pupil is played by Dylan Sprouse, co-star along with twin brother Cole of the long-running Disney Channel series "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody". Sprouse is convincingly chilling as a cuckoo crazy kid who stops at nothing to haunt the hallowed halls of Harvard.

This one probably shouldn't have been as good as it was. Just goes to show to ya, don't always judge a book by it's cover, nor a flick by it's cast.

This movies description was very vague, so I was hesitant to watch it as it seemed like it would be another cliché movie. To a certain extent, it was, it was predictable at some moments. Ultimately, the acting, especially by Dylan Sprouse, was fantastic. He played a believable deranged character, something very different from what he had done in the past and has now made a great return to acting. The movie was overall quite entertaining and highly interesting as a thriller. I encourage people to check it out.

I was pleasantly surprised after seeing "Dismissed". During the first 10 or 15 minutes it seemed it would be a little hokey. The film as I stated in my title was a bit predictable and the formula has been used before to one degree or another. However, the pace kept you interested and I felt the acting from the protagonist and antagonist were very good.

Plot is simply about a brilliant but somewhat off student who is transferred to a new school and instantly makes a great impression on his English teacher. Not to divulge any spoilers, I won't give more in depth story line then that but will say there was some smart and relevant story telling here.

The sub plots of the film fit quite nicely into a neat package to Support the main story and there are some harrowing scenes that might surprise you. It was not over the top not is there gratuitous violence. The story was told with realism and was spooky at times.

For a low budget film with essentially unknown actors, I thought it was a film. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a light thriller told well.

88 minutes you won't be disappointed spending.
