Plot Summary
In this dazzling leading-role, recording artist Usher Raymond plays Lester, the troubled teen who has finally been pushed to his limit. Taking matters into their own hands, Lester and his friends hold a police officer (Forest Whitaker) hostage and barricade themselves inside the school. Negotiator Audrey McDonald (Vanessa L. Williams) struggles to maintain peace while tensions simmer inside. As the crisis builds, "The Lincoln Six" discover talents they didn't know they had as their fight to expose dismal classroom conditions gains national attention.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Crackling dialogue, surprising intelligence and an emotional wallop.
Rotten: The dialogue is ridiculous and condescending.
Rotten: The problem is the movie is too predictable--so predictable that it keeps it from truly generating suspense.
Rotten: Painfully obvious and cliched.

I love this movie because it's sad and makes me realize certain things about human nature. Usher does so good and this is my all time favorite movie and the only reason I watched was because of usher but now I love it just because it's a terrific movie:)
