A brilliant commentary on the restlessness of America's youth. By trying to keep the 'fun' out of New Grenada, the parents are only adding fuel to the fire. When a misunderstanding causes the death of a mischievous, yet harmless, teenager, the students rebel, inciting a riot that the parents and authorities are unable to control.

Nine years isn’t a long time in the grand scheme of things, but for 19-year-old Daniel Radcliffe it’s half a lifetime. He’s done a lot of growing up since Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (filmed in 2000 and released a year later). Back then he was just about the perfect Potter: he couldn’t act, but he didn’t really have to. Not only did he resemble JK Rowling’s descriptions of Harry, he was also a ringer for the books’ cover... Read more
