'Bad Education': Hugh Jackman's 'remarkable' acting wows fans as they laud film's 'spectacular' storytelling
Spoilers for 'Bad Education'
Cory Finley's 'Bad Education' was one of the much-anticipated movies this weekend. It has been a visual treat for the world cooped up at home due to the outbreak of the coronavirus. But you know your weekend is going to be a good one, especially when there's a Chris Hemsworth action-thriller — 'Extraction'; Chris Evans' Apple TV drama series— 'Defending Jacob' and Hugh Jackman's 'Bad Education'. The movie follows real-life incidents that happened at writer Mike Makowsky's high school. The main focus of the film is an embezzlement scam with a respected school superintendent at the heart of it.
Fans on Twitter were highly impressed with the film. "Stop what you are doing and watch #BadEducation on @HBO immediately," wrote a fan. Another seconded this by tweeting: "#BadEducation Tell me how @RealHughJackman can be creepy!? Even swarmy? Gorgeous Hugh Jackman? It can't be. It's FABULOUS ACTING! AND @AllisonBJanney is phenomenal! Is there a role she can't act the crap out of?!
Another fan opined: "Loved #BadEducation almost as much as I love @RealHughJackman amazing talent! He killed it!"
"Bad Education was just spectacular. Maybe Jackman's best performance ever. Janney was great of course but what a star is Geraldine Viswanathan here. #BadEducation," said another fan. "I love me a good Indie film!!! #BADEDUCATION was so rich, juicy, and decadent. The most riveting story I have watched in a while. You should check it out! Hugh Jackman has entered a new realm (after he left the circus ring to Zac Efron he became an educator, solid segue, lol)," read one of the tweets.
"Jesus, #BadEducation is good as hell so far. This is Jackman’s best work in a while, and if you’re unfamiliar with the true story this is based on like I am, a couple of plot turns are going to blow you away," remarked a fan. And here's one that said: "#BadEducationHBO is worth the watch where @RealHughJackman & @AllisonBJanney play sociopaths that almost got away with it.. a true story where the student news brings down the entire corrupt administration...now wouldn’t that be nice? #BadEducation #hbo
To sum up, here's a tweet from one of the fans who wrote: "#BadEducation helped shed some light on one of the biggest school scandals in US history. Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney were phenomenal. I highly recommend it.
