    Rocky meets Karate kid!

    by myshipyardworksucks

    had a chance to see this with my son and his friend they loved it! full of hard fists, blood, and a good moral story! My only problem with this film was some of the carmera shots where fuzzy, and at times look like a "B" film. If you love when the bully gets his butt kicked you love this movie. Lite on plot but heavy hitting action.

    An Adrenaline Rush

    by miss_tooshi

    This movie is predictable but it keeps the audience intrigued. The camera angles are a bit nauseating so it is recommended to sit at a distant from the screen. Sean Faris is a very talented actor and he resemebles a young Tom Cruise. The extras are unrealistic, due to the model figure that everyone in high school posseses. I'm not a fan of action movies but the combat routines and the altercations between the characters were enticing. I would rate this movie as an 8.5. If you're interested in some excitement and eye candy then you must watch this movie!

    A junior version of "Fight Club," only with no movie stars and different moves.
