"I don't really write movie reviews that often. But after viewing this film at a screening last week, I felt compelled to write something. The cast is great, the acting is top-notch.

"On a rainy Friday in New York, The Reeler met up with Fred Durst and Jesse Eisenberg, the respective director and star of the Tribeca premiere The Education of Charlie Banks.
