Nerdist

All in all, this is a strong and engaging drama from a promising director who dares to urge empathy for figures traditionally dehumanized. And the performances are stirring.

Rated: 3/5

Thumper fails to overcome its numerous clichs.

Battleship Pretension

Thumper fails because Ross forgets that the reason cinema is so good at sending messages is because it engenders empathy and, in order to do that, we need to care about the characters as people...

The film also is buoyed by [Pablo] Schreiber's intensity.

It's an accomplished feature, and for those interested in a more realistic young-cops-in-high-school endeavor, "Thumper" handles the social aspects and procedural trail with care.

Rated: B+

Film School Rejects

A dark and subversive thriller that exposes the underbelly of crime and poverty not for shock value but instead to expose the uncomfortable parallels between our tidy lives and the messy secrets we try to keep locked inside.

It's not the movie you'd expect, but a very gritty movie about high school life, drug use, and how people's shitty lives lead them down a path ALL characters didn't see for themselves. It's on Netflix, so watch it. It has its moments of tension, and an ending that is real as life can be.
