The education of Charlie Banks

In his directorial debut, Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit) tells a coming-of-age tale that spans from the playgrounds of lower Manhattan to the idyllic greens of a fictional liberal arts college in upstate New York. Charlie Banks' (Jesse Eisenberg of THE SOCIAL NETWORK, 30 MINUTES OR LESS) sheltered world is shaken when an old acquaintance (Jason Ritter of GOOD DICK, TV's PARENTHOOD) with a violent past unexpectedly shows up at his dorm room. Set during the eighties, this a story about change, inevitability, and facing one's fears.

  • ""Charlie Banks witnesses charismatic thug Mick Leary brutally beat two jocks at a high school party. Despite fears of reprisal, Charlie reports Mick to the police when he learns the boys are hospitalised. Three years later, during his freshman year in college, Mick once again bursts unannounced into Charlie's life. Does Mick know Charlie was the one who ratted him out? Mick and Charlie begin game of cat and mouse as Mick intimidates and worms his way into Charlie's group of friends and steals his girl. Can this new lifestyle somehow tame someone as 'out of control' as Mick, who revels in a spiral of violence, drugs and sex, or will the threat of brutality ruin their lives forever?"--Container."

  • "Charlie Banks is a 16-year old who is a socially responsible upper west-sider. Charlie witnesses charismatic blue collar sociopath 18-year old Mick Leary brutally beat two unwitting suburban jocks at a high school party. Mick is a west village neighborhood buddy of Charlie's best friend. Soon, Charlie's conscience gets the better of him. Telling only his parents, he reports Mick to the police. Several years later, Charlie is in college and Mick visits the campus for a weekend. The two begin a game of cat and mouse. Nice one moment, and threatening the next, Mick keeps Charlie guessing. But Mick stays longer and begins a strange course of assimilation, donning borrowed cashmere and begins reading Charlie's books and auditing his classes. Soon Charlie begins to wonder if the intellectual caress of higher education can redeem even someone seemingly as far gone as Mick."@en
