A bit smarter than the usual high school in-crowd vs out-crowd movie.

A Fist of Two Thumbs

Eddie 'Gonzo' Gilman is a come-to-age student, in an upscale high-school of New York city, and he has a column in the student's paper.He adopted his nickname, from Hunter S. Thompson's alternative journalism ('Gonzo style'), and so he is such a freedom fighter, against the establishment (usually keeping him down): the principal of the school and the elite students, controlling everything.At the same time, though, all of them (good and bad guys) must keep their scores and discipline with a tight grip, in order to qualify for college.Gonzo revolts, though, releasing his own paper (The Gonzo Files), in such a conflictive way, challenging everything and everyone at school, for the sake of justice.In such a crusade, Gonzo also adopts Hunter S. Thompson's symbol: a hand closed in a fist, with two thumbs.'Beware the Gonzo' is a very complex (and violent) movie, and yet it has the fluency of an absorbing primetime TV-show, thanks to the expertise of its producer, Bryan Goluboff (the same of 'Law and Order: SVU').The movie doesn't have any moral agenda anyhow, it's just an entertaining movie with a solid story.It was produced by the organizers of the 'Tribeca Film Festival', also in New York.
