Rushed

This a chilling drama that explores the dark side of fraternity hazing and the devastating consequences it can have on students and their families. The film is a harrowing exploration of a mother's quest for justice after her son's tragic death, driven by a powerful performance from Hogan.

The plot of "Rushed" is straightforward yet compelling. Hogan plays Barbara O'Brien, an Irish Catholic mother who sends her son Jimmy off to college, only for him to fall victim to a fatal hazing incident. The film's strength lies in its ability to depict the raw emotions of a grieving mother and her relentless pursuit of justice.

Hogan's performance is the film's standout aspect. She convincingly portrays a mother's grief, anger, and determination, making the audience feel her pain and root for her cause. The supporting cast, including Robert Patrick as the lawyer aiding Barbara's quest, also deliver commendable performances.

The cinematography is effective in creating a somber mood that mirrors the film's dark theme. The use of dim lighting and cold color tones effectively conveys the bleakness of Barbara's situation.

"Rushed" also deserves credit for tackling a serious issue that is often overlooked. It brings attention to the dangerous practices of fraternity hazing and the need for stricter regulations to protect students. However, the film's impact is somewhat diminished by its lack of subtlety. The message is delivered with a heavy hand, which can come across as preachy rather than thought-provoking.

In conclusion, "Rushed" is a heartfelt drama that shines a light on the devastating impact of fraternity hazing. It is elevated by a powerful performance from Siobhan Fallon Hogan. The film serves as a stark reminder of the need for change in college fraternity cultures, making it a worthwhile watch despite its flaws.

Well worth a watch. And the woman playing the mother is absolutely fantastic!

The message of hazing is a very important story to tell and I am so glad Siobhan Fallon Hogan did. Heartfelt yet capturing storyline. Very worth the watch!!!!

And the deaths that unfortunately happens due to heavy intoxications and other having fun methods while being squeezed into the holy lodges of american student stupidity.

Ive had many a black out in my college years, but never done invoulanterilly, and im still alive to be able to tell my stories about it. But those dead students that has died in real life doesnt have a tale to tell anymore. Therefore its good that some brave souls tries to tell their stories, much like in this film called ''rushed''.

Its a love and hope died story, a gritty and dark storytelling, and with a revenge in the end that were much less indespicable than mine would have been if i was the parent of a dead student.

Its well acted, the plot couldve been better with some holes due to enrushment by the production team. It may be some law and order thing or simply a budget issue, but the last third of the movie stands out as very inconclusive.

So take a break from yor daily routine and sit down and talk with your upcoming stud teenager entering the fraternity system, it might save you and yours from a lot of trouble, and gaff them to a chair and show'em this film if they dont wanna talk. The grumpy old man wish there were much more revenge to it, but still a recommend.

Pretty forgettable drama, incorrectly listed as horror/mystery as it contains neither. Not that it is a particularly bad film, just not a particularly good one either. You would not regret missing it.
