Director: Kevin Reynolds
Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, John Heard, Kelly Rowan, Karina Arroyave

Samuel L. Jackson plays a traumatised teacher who moves from New York to Los Angeles but cannot escape the grim reality of American high schools. The topic is worthy but this drama is rather mediocre. The title is a slang term for murder.
