Detention: The Siege at Johnson High

From head to toe - an outstanding piece of cinema. Great actors, fine directing and writing. Got me on the edge right from the beginning. Well done!

The movie was so good that i actually wrote to him. He actually wrote back. I found out a lot that was left out of the movie and some things that should have been left in. I ended up writing to him for 2 years. And am actually thinking about trying to write to him again. remember that the movies always add more or leave something out. And think about what you would do. NOT SAYING HE WAS RIGHT!!!!!! But let him tell you his side before he's not around to tell it anymore. He's still on death row. And if you wonder like I did at the end of the movie, write him and Ask him why like I did. You might be surprised like I was. Watch the movie with an open mind and take in every detail. Including the fact they changed the name of it. My copy is called Hostage High.

I thought this movie was great. It was really suspensful. I thought the actors did a great job dramatizing the situation. I can't imagine what it was like to make such a movie knowing that it really happened. Trying to portray the students emotions and actions must have been really challenging. Again, I thought the movie was really good.

This is one movie that will never be forgotten in my mind. Rick Schroder commanded the screen with his performance, and the entire cast brought you into their terrified thoughts and feelings for 2 terrifying hours. A must-see movie for anyone willing to give up 2 hours of their time and a lot of tears!! I keep checking to see when it will come on again, so that my husband can watch it with me. Don't get up for anything when you finally get the chance to watch it, or you will miss something. The only thing I wish they had done was give us a little more background into Jason's past high school experiences. Whether it was at the beginning of the movie, or in flashbacks. That would have made him just a little more "Connectible" to the audience. But it was a fantastic movie all the way around! BRAVO!!!

to be honest i practically loved that movie...in the time i rented it i think i watched it about 12 times. The sad thing is now that most of the movie rental stores got rid of it. i was so angry i tried to go rent it last night, i went to three stores and none of them had it. But i don't think i have ever cried so hard in a movie, ever. It is a movie that makes you think, but get scared all at the same time, it makes you wonder would someone i know ever do this? but it's doubtful. i tried to make a lot of my friends watch this movie, but most of them said no, and like me, agree that it is an amazing movie and think that the way is made and how the actors act in it is completely brilliant. i don't think there is any other movie that i've seen like it yet.
