Bad Education (2019)

Released on television, but truly meant for the big screen. Bad Education is an astounding film about a good-old fashioned, American white collar crime in Roslyn, New York. Directed by Cory Finley, this is a huge step-up from Thoroughbreds. Hugh Jackman and Allison Janey are Oscar-worthy here. Jackman is slick and slimy as Dr. Frank Tassone, who's reputation as the world's best superintendent comes crumbling as he's exposed as a co-conspirer in the largest public embezzlement scheme in American history. Geraldine Viswanathan and Ray Romano knock out their respective roles as well. All around, the talent on and off-screen is exceptional here. Don't let this one go under the radar during your time at home. You don't even have to wait until HBO Max launches. See it now. 4 and 1/2 out of 5 Stars.
