    It's just as good as the original. A riveting, exciting, thrilling and action-packed thriller. A gripping, smart and effective film with an outstanding performance by Treat Williams. Schools out gets an A.

    This one wasn't bad, but not like the first one...Hate it when they switch people in the lead roles"

    it was cool and inspirational about how one guy stood up for one town even though he was a mercenary.

    Treat Williams takes over the helm and continues the tradition of excellence in bad action movies that Tom started.

    I love Treat Williams and he was pretty good in this... but the story wasn't that great... how many schools would be like this... there isn't ONE in real life... much less 3
