Maddox (Blake Shields) - bright but disenchanted, creative yet restless - views school as confining, even oppressive. He goes so far as to compare its environment to that of an asylum, with the students viewed as inmates. Maddox enlists a group of students to revolt against their educators in a solemn attempt to change school policy and curriculum. Maddox begins distributing propaganda throughout the school and captures the entire student body.

A movie that feels like three hours of detention -- even though the film is only 97 minutes.

If the poster for New Port South had any truth to it, it would read "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing".

Cooper shows significant promise in his directorial debut. Let's hope he finds the funding to direct again but with better material next time.

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

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.

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

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.
