When I first watched this movie, it was shortly after I graduated highschool, imagining that I could relate to the theme of this very movie. Donnie Yen plays an ex military , teaching and helping the so called "bad kids". Donnie Yen's parts are good, in terms of his action scenes, it's just the students who played the role of the "bad kids." Juvenile delinquency is a common theme in my childhood growing up, as I used to form a gang with my friends before, however, I didn't feel a sense of likeness to the characters, they try way too hard to portray that image, typical "delinquent" behaviour, as you would see most of the students smoking or fighting, which is just a common 21st century perception.
The students are presented as losers compared to being an actual gang, they would always get bullied by the popular kids (so far only fighting twice throughout the whole movie) and doesn't do much throughout the entire movie except only becoming the good students.
In conclusion, Donnie Yen was the main attraction of the show, however, it was the students who brought it down .
