Jackson's a Brooklyn high school teacher who is brutally attacked by one of his students. His physical scars are healed, but his emotional state is marred as he takes some pretty unorthodox teaching methods to a troubled L.A. school. Very dark, psychological drama with a powerful performance by Jackson. Tough film whose title refers to the California penal code number for murder. First film from director Reynolds after his “Waterworld” fiasco. 119m/C VHS, DVD . Samuel L. Jackson, John Heard, Kelly Rowan, Clifton (Gonzalez) Collins Jr., Tony Plana, Lobo Sebastian, Jack Kehler, Demetrius Navarro, Karina Arroyave; D: Kevin Reynolds; W: Scott Yagemann; C: Ericson Core.
