Jerry Mitchell, high school nerd, is assigned to write a piece in the school paper about new boy Buddy Revell, rumoured to be a psychopathic nutcase. When he accidentally touches him, Revell says they must fight at 3 pm after school. Jerry will do anything to avoid the confrontation... (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
Adventures, troubles and mishaps of one school day of Peter Parker before he got bitten by an eight-legged vermin. Looks like a (not?) admitted remake of High Noon. Crystal clear 80's portrayed in a movie that runs at such an uncompromisingly frantic pace that all legitimate accusations (sometimes it's too long, way too long, consistent character behavior doesn't exist, there are whole lines that seem wasted… I mean, where have I been?) come to your mind not earlier than when the credentials end. And maybe even later.
