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

Ordered it before Christmas and didn't expect to get it until afterwards but actually got it 2 days before, very fast shipping it out.

Rating: - Annapolis
When he won a coveted admission spot to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, local kid Jake Huard thought all his dreams had come true--but his battle to become the man he wants to be is only just beginning. Now, uncertain if a regular kid from a poor blue collar family can fit into the Academy's pressure-cooker atmosphere, and barely making the grade as a Freshman "plebe," Jake has one last shot at proving he has what it takes to become an officer in an institution that boasts a venerable 137-year history ...

The Film however is fun. The film does have one shortcoming when he and the company commander do ... Read More

Rating: - A boxing flick; Annapolis is also in there somewhere
This is really a boxing flick, although there is a sub-plot in there somewhere about a bunch of young people trying to make it through their first year of Annapolis. The Naval Academy, along with West Point and the Air Force Academy, is well-known for its hazing and tough first year. The protagonist of this one is a rough-cut young man with an aptitude for boxing. The plot really focuses on his shot at the Academy boxing championship. The result of all of this is that the plot, if there is one, is confused ... Read More

Rating: - A middle of the road cliché that is easily enjoyed and easily forgotten...
It's like `An Officer and a Gentleman' meets `Antwone Fisher' meets `Rocky', but nowhere near as good as the first two (yes, we all know that I think `Rocky' is an overrated mediocre film). Yes, there isn't much new to `Annapolis', and sadly it doesn't really handle anything in a way to create anything remotely memorable. It's a cliché ridden rip-off film that has a few selected moments that make it enjoyable, but there is nothing here that would warrant any deep-seated affection.

The performances ... Read More
