Awful

Rating: 1/10 (3 July 2013)

This is just a bad remake of the Karate Kid with anti-racism theme thrown in. Storyline is cliché and unrealistic: Walt balancing the wash machine to make his entry, Thao getting scarred for life with cigarette in his face, shootout at the end, young priest (were they inspired by the ridiculous young priest from 'There will be blood' ?),... Some real bad acting too. Poor Bee Vang hasn't starred in a movie since. Liked the barber guy from 'Fargo'. Walt was OK but a bit, well... grumpy. Oh and there's a 'funny' dog too.
Avoid this movie at all cost. Watch the original Karate Kid instead. How this movie gets rated an 8.2 on IMDb is beyond me.
