Robert K. Elder Chicago Tribune A movie that feels like three hours of detention -- even though the film is only 97 minutes. Sep 13, 2001 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Oct 13, 2005 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com If the poster for New Port South had any truth to it, it would read "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing". Rated: 1.5/5 Jul 25, 2002 Full Review Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews Cooper shows significant promise in his directorial debut. Let's hope he finds the funding to direct again but with better material next time. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 23, 2002 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Goes nowhere. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 16, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Whereas the story falls short, New Port South is not without style. With intriguing graphic design throughout, its harder to write off than expected. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring and pointless. Kyle Cooper is best known as the designer of the flip-book Marvel title - seen at the beginning of every recent Marvel production, and Todd Field is a spectacularly talented director. Based solely on this dull drivel, neither should give up their daytime jobs. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member NEW PORT SOUTH (1999) Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member very weird movie,its basically a game of cat and mouse between students and teachers.Melissa George puts in a early appearance,but no nudity ruins the film.Thought with it focused on students there would be plenty Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member A good premise of students versus teachers with some nasty moments, although not a totally convincing storyline despite the emphasis being on the profound and the psychological battle rather than the actual acts against each other. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member wow umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that tis is a good movie 2 watch....its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie....i think that todd field, will estes, melissa geroge, raymond j barry, gabriel mann, michael stahl david play good roles/parts throughout this movie...i think that the director of this drama/ romance movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect thorughout this movie...its a really powerful drama movie 2 watch but its a good movie 2 watch n its got a good cast thorughout this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
