수현 기 This could have been a great movie if plotted AND ended well. While the beginning and the first half of the film was pretty decent with mesmerizing acting and high predictability with common sense yet full of tension to keep the audience engaged with the show fully, the way the show ended was cruel and to a certain extent even diabolical for those who were expecting a movie focused on a villan of an interesting kind of a human being as a whole, with the story being heavily focused on the "practice of justice" & "happy forever" alongside with the lessening tension with, what's even worse, surprises and thriller-ish features which perhaps was intended to serve as a light plot twist of some sort that instantly successfully proven itself failed to deliver its purpose. I am personally in favor of the first half-ish of the show but I still couldn't recommend it. There's no 0 for the stars, so I am giving it a .5. This film should've been a fantastic show where a sociopath carefully and portray the dark side of the society, specifically how the quote unquote bad wins in the end wherever the injustice its done, and portray the indescribable catharsis in the "bad" winning. Elsewise, it's a nice film though, it is just painstakingly miserable how the directors and scenario writers behind the making of this show had failed to catch the true meaning and pleasure in watching such shows alike.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Andrew K It's just not a very good script. It was pretty boring in the beginning and the story was predictable. It could have used better character development and some of the casting choices weren't great. It did pick up a bit in the last third of the movie and there were a couple of decent moments. But overall, I don't think it hit what it was aiming for. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/21/23 Full Review yash b "Dismissed" isn't among the top of the thriller genre, but it is a decent way to kill some time. I thought the movie kept a solid tension-filled tone and did a lot with limited sets and what seemed like a fairly low budget. This is really the only time in the last few years where I feel like I've seen Dylan Sprouse acting and honestly, I thought he did a fair job in this movie. I do feel like Cole Sprouse has had all the spotlight on him with the TV show, "Riverdale," so it was nice to see that Dylan also has some solid acting talent. While I thought this movie was entertaining enough it felt a bit too straightforward and repetitive. The movie seemed to miss an opportunity to have a more creepy and in-depth storyline and instead serves up a pretty basic thrill ride. I wouldn't say anyone needs to rush out and see this movie, but if you do, it is definitely an okay and somewhat enjoyable movie.

I'm pretty sure the main actor of this was in the Netflix series Riverdale, and now he stars in this film ‘Dismissed' which is also airing on Netflix, however I noticed it isn't a Netflix Original. Anyway, this movie was pretty bad, almost at the level of ‘OK' for a cheap film on Netflix, but the whole story was just pointless. I mean, there're loads of films out there involving clearly unstable main characters (even though they're really the antagonist) who fail over the edge and end up doing something everyone involved will regret. But there's one thing: why did this one have to do bad at executing it? The ending slowly twisted into madness, and I can accept that sort of conclusion like in It Chapter 2 ( which was crazy from the start to be honest) or even Pet Sematary (2019) when these films have the right to go a bit off rails at the end since they're original, but you could've handed a piece of paper to an eight year old and said ‘this is a script for you to write on and make a movie' and they would probably come up with a more thought-through plot and plan of how to make something so much better than this. And in real life, even the most intense and unstable people (even children) wouldn't go insane if they got a grade at school above average... but not quite good enough for this high-expecting over-achieving (and psychotic) teenage pupil.
