Continuity mistake: In the beginning where Fletcher observes Andrew drumming for the first time, Fletcher hangs his jacket on a hook. A few seconds later after Andrew notices he's gone, there's no jacket hanging there. Shortly after that we hear the door open and it's reappeared. (00:03:20)

Whiplash is about the drive to be the very best and the people who abuse it. Fletcher (played with a snarl by J.K. Simmons) is a music teacher who torments his class in the pursuit of perfection and Andrew (Miles Teller) is his latest and promising victim. Hard, edgy and difficult to watch at times as Fletcher is a dire millstone out to crush anyone it comes across, like a crazed Drill Sargeant. Paul Reiser and Melissa Benoist also star.
