Dismissed (2017)
7/10
One of the better psychopath movies
1 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This movie tells the tale of an overzealous straight A student (Lucas) and a teacher with a conviction to do the right thing. Lucas is pretty much the antithesis of an hero. He is driven by a desire for excellence but is ultimately flawed in character due to his unwillingness to accept criticism. This becomes quite apparent in the first act of the movie. As the movie progresses his English teacher grows suspicious because "unlucky incidents" start to happen after a little confrontation takes place. At first his teacher just tries to shrug it off but as the severity of the sabotage increases he grows uneasy about the situation. Wondering how far Lucas might go to get what he wants. As expected things escalate towards the end in a final showdown between the two protagonists.

I personally really liked the movie because it was focusing on a more realistic portrayal of psychopathic behavior. I'm also glad to see that at least 1 of the Sprouse twins is still acting.
