A technically well made film with An exiting build-up, thatt, helas, ends up as an unsatisfactory TV movie level opportunities missed production.. In spite of especially the mother's good acting performance. The way too smoothly finale leaves us behind with all sorts of major unanswered script storyline questions as, has anything ever been done with all of the collected interviews video material of all of the other grieving mothers ? Was the frat leader ever sentenced ? Was the senator ever exposed ? Even if only a fictional individual case, still with so many loose ends that it brings down what could have easily been a film of real depth into large scale current issues contents value to the level of little more than a simple sentimental family drama, a pulp fiction tale of not even a decently elaborate revenge. The family members themselves and their interactions are so overly romantized that even while under alledged extreme pressure no-one ever looses control of their emotions.
And while the siblings of the victim just keep on smiling, the dad, who is presumed to be some kind of former hardman, does is nothing at all, he just continues to go to work and takes absolutely no action whatsoever.. With, as a result, that I personally, with the exception of them mom, couldn't identify to any of the other family members as real world people at all. And last but not least, I do think the director of this movie does show talent and promise indeed, but that a lot of professionalism could definitely be gained by learning how to make ends meet. Because in the end, the fact that no justice has been served, no promises to any of the other victims have been kept, and absolutely nothing has changed for the better, did leave me personally behind with the sensation of having enjoyed a wonderful appetizer while the main course never came.. And since all we are left with is the picture of the fairy content remains of our (never arguing with eachother about anything) modern day Waltons family, going back to business as usual as like almost nothing had happened at all, I suppose it would probably be best if we viewers would simply do exactly the same.

The message of hazing is a very important story to tell and I am so glad Siobhan Fallon Hogan did. Heartfelt yet capturing storyline. Very worth the watch!!!!
And the deaths that unfortunately happens due to heavy intoxications and other having fun methods while being squeezed into the holy lodges of american student stupidity.
Ive had many a black out in my college years, but never done invoulanterilly, and im still alive to be able to tell my stories about it. But those dead students that has died in real life doesnt have a tale to tell anymore. Therefore its good that some brave souls tries to tell their stories, much like in this film called ''rushed''.
Its a love and hope died story, a gritty and dark storytelling, and with a revenge in the end that were much less indespicable than mine would have been if i was the parent of a dead student.
Its well acted, the plot couldve been better with some holes due to enrushment by the production team. It may be some law and order thing or simply a budget issue, but the last third of the movie stands out as very inconclusive.
So take a break from yor daily routine and sit down and talk with your upcoming stud teenager entering the fraternity system, it might save you and yours from a lot of trouble, and gaff them to a chair and show'em this film if they dont wanna talk. The grumpy old man wish there were much more revenge to it, but still a recommend.

Well worth a watch. And the woman playing the mother is absolutely fantastic!
Lead actress did a fantastic job! The whole cast was terrific. The film falls apart closer to the end which is purely on the writers and director. More stories like this need to be told that's a must!! This film keeps you hooked then leaves you unsatisfied. There's no closure, no justice which is what this films lacks. I do believe had they done this film with a better ending or better revenge part there would be Oscar buzz but it falls flat at the end. So still a great eye opening for the horrors of hazing, I would still recommend other to see it for the acting and what this story is about.
