Lesson Plan

"Lesson Plan" is an Action - Drama movie in which we watch an ex-cop investigating his friend's death while working as a teacher. His main goal is to find out what happened and his friend died but also who is responsible for his death.

I enjoyed this movie because it had a nice, simple plot that contained plenty of action and suspense and at the same time some plot twists that I did not expect. The interpretation of Piotr Witkowski who played as Damian Nowicki was very good and he made the difference. The direction which was made by Daniel Markowicz was simple and he presented his main character very well, something that made possible for the audience to relate to him and follow him on his risky quest. Finally, I have to say that "Lesson Plan" is an interesting action movie to spend your time with.

Not only does the story move at a glacial pace, the action moves just as slow. Every move looks over-choreographed and lands so slowly it looks like it does no damage. Not only that but even when the main character's life is threatened, he rarely does any permanent damage to his opponents. He leaves random drunks with more bruises than those responsible for his friend's death. It completely breaks immersion.

Overall, the story itself isn't a bad one and the film could've been an entertaining if unmemorable action flick if some sort of action coach had been hired and a script editor hired to remove the cheesy, recycled lines from old kung-fu movies. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case and it instead ended up disappointingly average.

No pun intended - not sure if this took one movie in particular and said that is the blueprint we want to use. But the movie itself is quite predictable .. it also seems to have no surprises when it comes to characters ... and developments if you want to call them that. But if you like action movies ... and don't care about story or plot a lot ... well you could do worse.

The movie is also easy and takes the easy (hard hitting, no pun intended) way most of the time. The ending is also quite convenient ... when it comes to positioning ... but if you have an issue with that falling down on you ... well you didn't really like anything that came before it either. It is a B-Movie action film from Poland ... there are far worse things out there ... there are far better things too ... overall it is a decent effort in my eyes.

What takes away from this film immediately, is the poor choice in music. There has been an increase in opting for this type of music, across many mediums and platforms and it lowers the quality of the films.

Rock, Hard rock, would be more appropriate. Or any other kind of music rather than what was selected. I was really looking forward to the film. Within the first minute, and within first ten minutes the choice remains the same, causing me to simply have to pause the film. To all producers of film, please choose something else- the audience is not impressed by such a choice. You put in a lot of hard work to have it tainted with such low class music.

This was just simply a good action movie. One that netflix added thats actually good. I quite enjoy the dubbed movies they put out especially if the action is there and the acting is good. Luckily they were and it was a pretty good film. Its all about this man who becomes a teacher after someone dies that was involved in drugs. He notices the students and even ends up teaching them how to fight as a way of sticking up for their selfes. The school is a bit of a problem one. But anyway theres quite a bit of good action with some fighting skills thrown in. The acting was alright and there was a good mix of intense parts and some romance. Overall an enjoyable movie.
