A drama directed by Gus Van Sant, starring Sean Connery.
An intelligent young black man breaks into the apartment of an old white man, but leaves his bag behind. The old man throws the bag back, with all of the notebooks in it corrected in "red pen teacher style". The boy gets accepted into a private school for free because of a test score and strikes up a friendship with the old man based on writing.
A "hidden talent" film, huh? I've seen many of these and this is no different. All the film elements are decent, but the production value stands out beyond everything else. Why is this? Is it to get people to watch the same story again? Is it to make money off the same story again? Aha! That's it! Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't different. I'm rating it a mediocre o.k. and it should have followed the advice given to the main character when he was getting C grades, but scored awesome on a general test.
