Warning: Spoilers
First fight scene the bad guy sprays the school cafeteria MP5A3 (9mil compact machine gun) The bullets can't penetrate the napkin holder 50 rounds later and Dolph is playing peek a boo from 20ft away, First half of the movie like a terrible adult version of Home Alone. The poor students can't catch a break, between their bad acting and ridiculous dialog they are doomed, SPOILER ALERT! This movie starts out bad and falls downhill from there,I was just ready to change the channel when I looked up to see the student in a motorized wheelchair was spotted by the bad guys, turns out driving your wheelchair down the middle of the main hall with 4 armed bad guys looking for you, isn't a great idea. Don't worry he ends up out running the bad guy on a motorcycle and the 20 or so bullets. Yes that's right, scene goes from all 4 spotting the kid 20' away to, wheelchair popping wheelies and being chased by a motorcycle. If the screenwriter and director found work after this masterpiece I'd be shocked! The bad guys were completely out gunned. Their bullets couldn't penetrate a garbage can somehow the kids arrow sends a 200# man 5 ft back and stuck to the bleachers.All looks hopeless until the leader of the bad guys decided enough is enough and calls the hero's fiancee, cleverly posing as a detective tells her she must come to the school.(that's not fair) How he knew Dolph was engaged, her name and her number is a mystery. To be fair they may have explained it during one of the many times I looked away laughing, don't waste your time
