Expected much better from him. I didn't really get the feeling that the youth and group were troublemakers and were too easily convinced to study mathematics. The characters were quite empty. Would have preferred to see a more mean youth like in One Eight Seven. Furthermore, Olmos's acting is quite good. But still a disappointment

these kinds of films where almost all of them have "difficult students" (for whatever reason), you can think of deprived neighborhoods, racism, crime, etc.
I think it's really great that a teacher can win such a class for them.
therefore also think of films such as "the Principal (1987)" and, for example, Freedom Writers (2007) and there are many more films in which a teacher can still win over difficult students.
highly recommended
