Watch Detention For Free

Simply Perfect

A Masterpiece!

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

If I could give a lower rating I would this was complete garbage I've never seen so many missed shots in my life these people couldn't hit the broad side of a barn you can tell the guns are pellet guns not even try prop guns they do not have any blowback in the action The beginning of this movie sounds promising but it's complete trash I can even watch it all the way through A scene in this movie is in a gym it has bales of hay stacked and bullets can penetrate hay bales which is completely asinine Another scene the woman and a student are less than 100 feet Apart and northern can hit each other with a bullet This was just awful I like a lot of lundgrens movies this is definitely not one I will ever watch againThis could be used for torture and interrogation

*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS"Detention" is another in the long line of "Die hard" clones. It unfortunately belongs to the very worst of them. The story is a mix between "Breakfast club" and "Die hard". There are some potentially interesting elements : a closed-for-weekend high-security high school, four teens in detention with a war-veteran teacher and a group of ruthless criminals trying to get in. It all however fails spectacularly because of COMPLETELY IDIOTIC screenplay. Maybe if you're in the right mood you will get some cheap laughs of this movie.Why did the villains decided to use the school in first place ? - A lockdown on the school closes the fire exits as well ? - If the fire exits are closed how did the characters got to the roof ? - Why are the local cops arguing with secret service agents about their authority ? - When Dolph finds a dead body of security guard , why he DOESN"T TAKE his gun ? Is he blind or something ? - Why instead of using a first aid kit to heal a wound (a minor one) Dolph wastes time heating up the pipe to cauterize the wound - When one character holds a shield why doesn't the second one just shoots him in the legs ? - Why when a bad guy is down on ground the good guy runs away instead of kicking his ass ? - Why when the good guys hide in the gym it turn out to be an archery so they could protect themselves with the equipment ?The story is full of unbelievable situations, lots of clichés and stereotypical characters. Lundgren is not one bit convincing as an ex-military turned a history teacher assigned to a rough school. The other actors are bad too , especially the bad guys who look like straight from "Police academy".Action ? What action ? The bad guys wouldn't hit a sleeping elephant – their aim is SO BAD. The most iconic action scene in this movie happens when a bad guy with a sub machine gun and Harley Davidson tries to catch a handicapped kid (on a wheelchair) and FAILS TO CATCH HIM !The budget of this crap is supposed to be a 10 mln $ , but I honestly don't see all those money here. I only noticed a very bad dialogues like : "Sorry, teacher! You get an 'F!"This is crap. Dumb action movies like "Passenger 57" or "Sudden death" are far better. I give "Detention" 1/10.

This movie is not worth of writing a review about. This is just to warn you before you somehow sit to watch it.I can understand some poor chaps put some money together to burn for making a rubbish movie. Everybody is entitled to do that. What I don't understand is what the hell Dolph Lundgren is doing in such a low quality movie? There seems to be no director assigned to this movie. My guess is the cameraman both shoot and directed the film. There is no script so they made the movie just improvising on the set.Forget about the stupid plot, worst unknown actors, non existent directing. One thing annoyed me in this movie a lot: There are four bad guys with semi automatic weapons and unlimited ammunition. Yet they are unable to shoot anybody from 20 feet distance. What the hell? If you see this movies cover or DVD just call 911 for emergency.

Detention is like a cross between "The Breakfast Club" and "Die Hard", only without the character development of the former or the special effects budget of the latter. The result is surprisingly entertaining and often wonderfully tasteless. In short, Detention is one of the better lightweight action movies to hit video shelves in some time.Dolph Lundgren has spent the past few years mainly appearing in relatively gritty low budget action films like his directorial debut "The Defender" and its follow up, "The Mechanik". While I enjoyed both of those films, it comes as a nice surprise to see Dolph appear in something as stupidly entertaining as Detention. Make no mistake about it - this film is dumb in a very big way. You could get a bad case of RSI from writing down all the goofs and plot holes. However, what it lacks in credibility, the film more than makes up for in enthusiasm and an almost 1980s approach to action. There are very few dull computer effects here, just a lot of old fashion shootings and a couple of decent explosions.The story involves Dolph's character, Sam, struggling with his disillusionment as a teacher at an inner city high school. Sam decides to resign but is asked to supervise detention on his last day. Unfortunately for Sam, he finds himself locked in the school building with a bunch of his delinquent students and an incredibly camp and violent crime boss called Chester. Conveniently, Sam is an ex-soldier and he calls on his military training to fight the intruders. The story is as clichéd and derivative as it sounds. Nevertheless, it allows Dolph to flex his action hero muscles and provides plenty of opportunities for senseless violence.Detention benefits greatly from an undercurrent of black humour and a touch of irony. The characters are all pretty amusing, from the crack smoking, foul mouthed students, to Chester and his woeful to the point of being funny one-liners. The film also contains one of the funniest and most ridiculous chase scenes ever captured on film when one of the bad guys chases a wheelchair bound student (Dov Tiefenbach in another interesting role) on a motorbike. Sam's ability to turn a trolley into a metal covered battering ram, complete with metallic spikes, in a matter of minutes is similarly mind boggling.The special effects are generally pretty basic but there is enough blood and shooting to keep action fans happy. Sidney J. Furie's direction is lively and he keeps the pace mercifully brisk. Sidney has been making genre films since the 1960s and he's still churning out good work. Detention is not a great film and it never pretends to be one. It is, however, 90 minutes of hugely enjoyable, dumb fun. If nothing else, watch it for the wheelchair chase sequence.
