The Principal looks good, sounds good, and keeps you entertained throughout. That's not bad for a generic "cleaning up the high school" flick. I'm sure some will balk at the idea of teachers using violence against the criminal delinquents in a school, but I say that sometimes you just have to take out the trash. Besides...what kind of an action thriller would it be without action?!!? Anyway...The Principal is quite good and makes for a rather decent hour-and-a-half of entertainment.

Surprisingly dark school drama, but man does this really not age well. Inner city drug troubled school meets off the hinges Principal Rick Latimer.
