Bad Education (2019)
It was a true-life lesson in corruption. Dr. Frank Tassone was a smooth, charismatic Superintendent whose leadership guided Roslyn High School to the highest levels of education. He also happened to be part of an $11 million embezzling scheme that rocked the upscale Long Island town. Hugh Jackman stars as Tassone with Allison Janney as his business manager and colleague in crime as they coordinated the biggest public-school embezzlement in American history--which would be uncovered by a tenacious young reporter with the high-school newspaper. Co-starring Ray Romano and Geraldine Viswanathan. Directed by Cory Finley; written by Mike Makowsky who was a student at Roslyn during the scandal; based on the New York magazine article "The Bad Superintendent" by Robert Kolker.
Fun to watch! @Aaron S. New Mexico
Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney give a superb perfomance in this amazing true story.
Jackman - great performance! @nyctelecaster
Hugh Jackman is captivating as Frank Tassone in Bad Education. He gives a performance exhibiting complexity and subtlety. He was great in ‘The Front Runner’ and impressive in ‘Prisoners’ and this is another little gem of a Jackman performance in a little gem of a film.
Not a popcorn flick @Afurokhan
Hugh Jackman is always a joy to watch. I was a bias watcher because the setting reminded me so much of Malibu High School...in a bad way.
