The Education Of Charlie Banks (2007) 7/10

Starring : Jesse Eisenberg, Jason Ritter, Eva Amurri, Chris Marquette
Director : Fred Durst
Running Time : 95 mins

After witnessing a brutal assault, Charlie Banks (Eisenberg) reports the culprit, Mick (Ritter), to the police and Mick ends up doing time for his crime. Years later, Charlie is shocked to run into Mick again, this time when he turns up at his college campus, and he begins to worry that Mick will find out what he did, whilst slowly becoming something of a friend to him.

This wasn’t a bad little coming of age drama, and it’s focus on what can happen if you do what you think is right was both thought provoking and engrossing. Fans of teen dramas will like this, but don’t expect any of the usual comedy moments from Eisenberg who is stern as stern can be in this role.
