Trois heures, l'heure du crime

A perfectly serviceable panic attack disguised as a high school comedy. Jerry Mitchell, a tightly wound student journalist, incurs the wrath of transfer student Buddy Revell by doing the unthinkable: touching him by accident. The film peaks early with its premise and spends the rest of the runtime watching a clock tick, much like its protagonist.
