Synopsis:Jule is a waitress who can't make ends meet. She moves in with her boyfriend Peter and his friend Jan, two young men united by their passion to change the world. But Jule has a secret: an auto mobile accident in the past has burdened her with lifetime payments to a successful businessman named Hardenberg. Peter and Jan also have a secret: they are the notorious "Edukators," mysterious perpetrators who break into the expensive homes of local yacht club members as an act of political rebellion. They wreak havoc and leave notes that read, "Your days of plenty are numbered." While Peter is away on holiday, secrets between Jan and Jule are disclosed and feelings between them intensify. They impulsively break into the home of the businessman to whom Jule is indebted. But their growing passion has made them careless and when they're forced to return to the villa the following night to retrieve a forgotten cell phone, Hardenberg surprises them. They have no choice but to call Peter for help, even if it means his finding out about their betrayal. The trio makes a rash decision and their futures (as well as Hardenberg's) are put in jeopardy. Ideals are tested as generations collide, passions rage, and loyalties shatter...

Predictable 15 out of 100
Cannot see what the fuss here is about. fairly slow moving, not particularly exciting and the ending, in my opinion, is logically unsatisfactory. One for the young and niave.

Disappointing 15 out of 100
Meh. Obvious and clichéd, over simplistic. Don't bother.

The Edukators 40 out of 100
This film is exciting, engaging and unpredictable. Daniel Bruhl (Goodbye Lenin) is excellent, and one can only hope he builds on his appearance in the Bourne Ultimatum and does more movies in english. Great finish to this one

Excellent Film 45 out of 100
Really enjoyed this film in the cinema, it loses a slight bit on the small screen in the second half. A tale of youth metamorphosing into adult hood.
