i first see this movie like a year and a half ago and i love it and i decide to get the dvd last year for my birthday . it have the right amount of suspense and action and drama . this movie be about prep school call the regis school and it pack with rebellious kid and in which one kid william tepper ( sean astin ) have a hard time adjust due to prior rejection from other school cause they couldn not control his rebellious act and now at the regis school commit more act of a rebellion there school get take over by terrorist on a random day and which the real reason be because the leader luis cali ( andrew divoff ) father have be send to prison and and the leader will do anything include kill the student and set bomb and so forth in order to get his father back . along side william tepper and be his rebellious friend at the regis school and one in particular be joey trotta ( wil wheaton ) in which this guy hold a troubled past of living in a mafia family and be send to the regis school because of hat his father for who he be and which now he must deal with these terrorist take over the school and so william and joey and there friend must band together to stop these terrorist from violent act and hazardous tactic . this movie be really awesome and i believe people should notice it more because when people think of a good hostage movie they would say die hard and even though i would have to agree with them and they need to recognize that toy soldier be a good thriller and it sure have my heart beating because the student be my age and i would be scar to confront terrorist like these if they take over our school . but overall this movie be really worth a good 112 minute of your time and if i have a decision to rent or buy it . i would buy it . i recommend it with a lot of hype . positive .
