Beach was down seven points in the third quarter when Anrio Adams, their best player--the state's best player, according to SeaTown Sports--got a technical foul for jawing with a Seattle Prep player.

And, at every level of basketball, two technicals spells E-J-E-C-T-I-O-N.

But Detention is more than just pastiche. All of those disparate threads intersect by the movie's end, and Kahn delivers the entire sensory-overloaded package with pinpoint accuracy. By backing up its relentless MTV-stoked pace with a distinctive sensibility (and a heart), Detention just might signal a sea change in music video-influenced moviemaking. As The SunBreak's own Josh Bis said, "I left feeling won over by something that I probably should have hated," and I too came out of the screening seriously, mightily impressed.
