Fifteen months after he was attacked within the walls of a school in Brooklyn, science teacher Trevor Garfield, who moved to California, finds a new job. Now at his disposal is the terrible office 86, which opens with curtained iron mesh windows to the farthest corner of the courtyard, and no less terrible students, some of whom are members of the local criminal group 'Cops Remains to Die' ...

'187' is one of the best paintings by Kevin Reynolds, demonstrating the conflict between the younger and the older generations using a concrete example and casually touching upon the issue of racial hostility with a clear emphasis on the meaninglessness of the latter's existence (an educated African American adult is opposed here to a gang of young Latinos and at the same time is playing tricks with a white girl, his work colleague). In terms of mood, the film partly resembles Tony Kay's 'American History X', which was released a year later, but directly refers verbally to 'The Deer Hunter' and the story of the Night Hunter (a maniac who raged in Los Angeles in the mid-eighties), which was also filmed several times. However, unlike most analogies that come to mind or are cited by the authors (if you will, films-inspirations), including from the nearest plot, a little more successful 'Director' with James Belushi, '187' has practically no violence and action. the tape is built mainly on dialogues and inner philosophy.

Samuel L. Jackson during his golden age and Clifton Collins Jr. represent a magnificent tandem, behind which not a pinch of acting is felt - before us are living people with lively emotions. One, in his desire to give people knowledge, to share with others the joy of his beloved work, constantly stumbles upon a wall of misunderstanding and indifference, the other is looking for an excuse for family quarrels and his own illiteracy in night showdowns and childish coolness - a bald head, a pistol in his bosom and a couple of like-minded dogs nearby ... The ideological messages of the authors are felt literally physically, thanks to the sincerity of the presentation of the material, almost complete deprivation of its unnecessary Hollywood bravado.

If we supplement the content of the film with high-quality editing and camera work, as well as save it from the too flat and American-style impudent ending, we could get a real masterpiece, because behind the scenery of dirty general education classes and dusty recreations it is difficult not to notice something much more significant than daily skirmishes between high school students and teaching staff. '187' is a strong and clever movie, if not impeccable visually.
