Dangerous Minds (1995) Thriller/Drama
7/10
So I decided to watch this film after
Stand & Deliver. It's pretty much the same story line etc, except
the teacher is a white woman, who is an ex marine, going in to an
under privileged school. While the story is similar in so many ways
there are several differences. This particular film was about English
and Poetry and it had more of a gang presence within the characters.
Michelle Pfieffer tries to pull off this lousy American accent which
she should have just chose not to do (as it didn't affect the story
at all). So take off points for the lousy accent, the unbelievable
story that she would reward the kids with stuff that was totally
unfeasible (esp on a teachers salary), and it's a partial copy....
Therefore, I would give this film a 7/10, which I think is
considerably fair.
