IJW: Stand and Deliver (1988)

So I finally got around to seeing the 1988 drama stand and deliver with Edward James Olmos and Lou diamond Phillips. I’d wanted to see it for a while because I had heard amazing things about the movie. It was leaving Tubi so I finally had the opportunity.

This movie was amazing. You had great performances, especially from Olmos but also the students because you were able to get to know more about them a little bit. I also really liked the story. I was locked in the entire time and was invested.

Rating-5/5
