This is a gripping story, with only a few moments of awkwardness as policy details and pros and cons are explained.

A film of bumper sticker emotions, rather than ideas that might actually be helpful.

Rating: B- --
Social-issue movies can have real societal impact. That's why Won't Back Down, which presses a lot of hot buttons, deserves to be taken seriously, and criticized seriously, on its own terms.

It's all way too much and perhaps the most troubling aspect is that it casts the teachers' union as the villain.
