Second film review for Disruption

When you hear the title “Disruption,” you will have many images or visuals in your mind, but the impact which this film will have on you is utterly indescribable.  I bet you will never think of a psychopathic teenager who has no limits to achieve his own rightful justice and eradicate the cathartic feelings by committing a catastrophe in the end which leaves the audience in a big shock and awe. Yes, the movie is not just an ordinary film which you watch and forget about; the affliction of pain caused to a destructive killer actually makes you feel sympathetic towards this individual who is actually a vulnerable victim himself.  He seemingly causes this trauma as a cry for help. That may sound like an Elephant retread, but the ingenious Disruption has little in common with Gus Van Sant’s intriguing but limited look at a similar incident (which focused exclusively on the day of the event). Disruption is far superior, more involving and emotionally powerful and will have you wondering about the events we as a society actually cause and have a fault in.

We can tell instantly from the opening of the film that the main character Jim- not referred to his name in the film, is obsessively planning a massacre at his college (No references to Columbine in the film, incidentally.)The easy access to possess a gun by a teenager (frighteningly easy) portrays the kind of society we live in and raises many question not just about the gun, but all the sequential events that consequently leads to this devastation.Who’s to blame, the media? Parents? Teenagers themselves? Or us as a society?

The purpose of the film is highly achieved; we are left with bitter taste in our mouth. We question the reasons why this happens. Hopefully, movies that are this powerful will teach us a very big lesson and prevent any more unnecessary disastrous events.

Film Directors Louis Paule and Sertan Vedat have made an intensely immediate, meticulously detailed bone chiller. You may question why Disruption was made (do we really learn anything new about teenagers or their capacity for violence?), but as an experiment in terror, its right up there with the most disturbing movies ever made.

Synopsis: What seems to be a normal college day of students and teachers getting on with their day, a dark figure not referred to his name, is shown looking at articles of high school massacres and putting this gun in his bag conveys that this will not be an ordinary day for these college pupils as this mysterious figure makes his way through the college and two more college students are seen making journeys so the fast and dramatic scene goes up a level as the audience is gripped in which one of these students is the killer. Towards the end of the film the killer is revealed standing tall in the college canteen pulling the trigger of the gun at innocent victims. The killer then goes outside the canteen and shoots himself, where after his motivation is revealed through his monologue and destruction caused by him are also seen.
