i come to new port south expect a surrogate movie about the columbine school massacre similar to gus van sant elephant and certainly the synopsis in the tv guide state that a student sociopath rebel against the system do give me that impression but this be a very boring movie where little happen so consider yourself warn the story be about maddox and a chicago high school student who decide to strike back at what he perceive to be an authoritarian regime . the major problem be that the character be underwritten and the actor who play him blake shield be unable to embellish any script deficiency . you have the gut feeling that maddox should have the evil charisma of hitler and saddam or bin laden but he never come across a anything more than a petulant truculent teenager and it impossible to believe he could rally any disciple . the subtext of you overthrow one manipulative authoritarian regime only to replace it with another manipulative regime be too obvious which mean new port south be an entirely unconvincing drama that not worth go out of your way to see .
