A boxing movie done up in Naval Academy drag, Annapolis stars James Franco (Spider-Man, Tristan & Isolde) as Jake Huard, a shipbuilder's son who wants to prove to his father--and to himself--that he can cut it as a Naval officer. But at the Academy he runs afoul of a hard-nosed training officer named Cole (Tyrese Gibson, Four Brothers), who does all he can to drive Huard out of the school. They end up settling their differences in the boxing ring during the Academy's annual competition. Annapolis is a bundle of cliches, from Huard's interracial mix of roommates to the lessons he learns about teamwork, but it's an efficient and vigorous bundle of cliches. Director Justin Lin (Better Luck Tomorrow) keeps the pace swift and the visuals snappy, particularly in the boxing scenes. Franco and Gibson work hard to outdo each other's burning gazes; both are handsome men of modest acting talent, but they suit their roles reasonably well. Also featuring Jordana Brewster (The Fast and the Furious), Donnie Wahlberg (Saw II), and the always charming Chi McBride (Roll Bounce). --Bret Fetzer

This movie had strong acting (with great actors and actresses), the plot could have been more interesting, and the ending was sub-par. This movie is worth watching, but not paying $20.00 for a DVD.

It is always an interesting thing when one starts watching a movie and expects it to be about a certain subject and then the movie shifts half-way to an entirely tangential subject. From Dusk till Dawn is the epitome of this effect. But whereas it was deliberate in that movie since Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez each contributed to half the script, you can tell Annapolis does this more because the writer or director lost the narrative thread half-way in.

This is an updated and borrowed version of Richard Gere and Louis Gosset Jr's "An Officer and a Gentleman". This time its about a young welder who finally gets into the US Naval Academy Annapolis and faces off against his commanding officer Cole. Its a hard year and full of the ocassional romance with the requisite female. Annapolis is not bad and has an attractive cast but most fans of this film will be military fans who just love the genre.
