El alumno

This movie made me angry. It seems to me , that if Professor Willis had come down from her high horse , then maybe Vance could have been given the guidance and attention that he clearly needed , because he was an exceptional student , with great potential .

Instead , she obsessed with him , and focused on her own past experience , which should have taught her a valuable lesson , ( obviously not ), and then perhaps there would not be 2 dead people at the end of this movie .

Just because Vance came from " the wrong side of the tracks " , does not make him a " bad one " , but Professor High and Mighty could not see past her own obsession with " ethics" , and because of her incompetence , Vance's talent was wasted .

Awful film , with a terrible message .

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.

Like reading a story in Ellery Queen's mystery magazine, not Shakespeare, but entertaining none the less.

As is the usual, there are moments that stretch belief, but hey, it's just a TV movie, so just enjoy it as such.

Michael Blake does a good job as the villain...good looking with an icy cold stare. If I was a teacher and had a student like him, I'd switch professions!

There's really very little to say about such a terrible movie. I don't know what possessed me to invest any time in this other than it served as a background distraction for getting ready in the morning. The acting is absolutely terrible. The "plot" is ludicrous. I can sum it up by saying there were only 15 minutes left to watch the conclusion - and I turned it off.

Another "Trinket" From Netflix that even though it was low budget, I kept with it to the end. No Stars in this one, although they were competent actors and actresses. The plot was thinner than weak tea, but it still kept me occupied for the full 90 minutes of the movie! Not the worst film that I have seen on Netflix this month, but not particularly memorable. I did enjoy it though, so in the final analysis I guess I found it to be a good movie and worth the watch.
