This movie is one of those Die Hard clones that I quite like. Other reviewers never really liked this movie, but I think that it is in fact a pretty enjoyable movie. It really has little in the way of themes, but there is a bit of action, and the shenanigans of the High School misfits are quite amusing, especially moving the principal's entire office outdoors.
Toy Soldiers is about a drug lord whose father has been arrested by the US and taken into custody. So he sends his henchmen to a prep school where the judge's son attends is only to find out that he has been moved out earlier. This doesn't stop them from taking the school hostage and rigging it up to explode.
The school is an exclusive prep school for kids who don't settle into other prep schools. I really didn't think there could really be such a school because the exclusive schools are simply that, exclusive, and it makes me wonder why anybody would go to the effort of making such a school like that.
Anyway, this is in America and I must admit that I really don't know as much as I think I know. It is not really a problem that it is a prep school for misfits, but rather that the school is taken by terrorists and that these kids use all their wits and intelligence to get out of it. These are both smart and gutsy kids, and not only manage to outwit the terrorists, but the FBI as well.
I personally think this is a pretty cool little movie, and something that I quite enjoy watching. It isn't as tight and well executed as Die Hard, but it is a clone so I wouldn't expect much more.
