...driven almost purely by dialogue. Sophie, Hans, and other student members calling themselves a part of “The White Rose” are interrogated at the Gestapo headquarters, where the slimy, power-hungry officer Mahler (Jeremy R. Steinemann ’08) persuades reluctant Gestapo Chief Mohr (W. Brian C. Polk ’09) to hold the captives indefinitely. Mohr, in fact, stays true to his promise and does not let his prisoners go free...

("She's my prostitute," Dragon tells a flabbergasted underling. "You're my whore.") Fast and aggressive as a Porsche on an L.A. freeway, Action is a little in love with its own transgressiveness, but when it passes up broad, vulgar humor for smart, vulgar humor, it's the best excuse you'll find this fall for kicking the kids...
