From the Back Cover

It's students versus faculty in this provocative thriller that entertains all the way to the surprise ending! A high school senior named Maddox has watched as his classmates' freedoms have been stripped away by a domineering faculty at his suburban Chicago school. Then, when he hears the story of John Stanton, a student who rebelled against the system and was institutionalized under suspicious circumstances, he decides it's time to act. Together with his best friends, Clip and Chris, Maddox sets a revolt in motion in the name of Stanton. But as the facts of Stanton's cast begin to unravel, and as Maddox becomes increasingly obsessed with his cause, his friends start to suspect there's more than meets the eye.

4.0 out of 5 stars oh please, June 17, 2003

By	jes (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New Port South [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Whoever it was that wrote something about it being a bad movie because the main character wasnt cute enough needs to stick to watching She's all that or other [movies] like that. The ending i do have to admitt was a cliffhanger but the plot was original and the cinemotography was amazing. How good a movie is is NOT based on wheather or not the characters contian a certain "eye candy" appeal.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great start, disappointing end, October 10, 2002

By	Michael Thompson (Walla Walla, WA, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

New Port South begins and carries on very strongly. It is the story of Maddux, a student at NPS High who has had enough of the curriculum and the administration, who decides to lead a student rebellion. Following the example of another former student who did similar things 2 years earlier, Maddux's nonviolent protests gain more and more explosive reactions from the school's faculty. As Maddux steadily becomes unstable, his friends begin to question his judgment and things finally come to a riveting climax. And then the ending comes and just leaves you hanging with unanswered questions that will probably keep you up wondering what the final outcome would have been like if the director had just added 5 or 10 more minutes. But as it is, I loved this movie until the very end. Not a bad movie, and it's a fun one to rent with some friends and guess about what could have happened if it had been just a little bit longer. But I can't say I would reccommend purchasing it.
