good, but not life changing

Rating: 4/10 (2 October 2005)

I thought this movie was rather entertaining. But I thought it was kind of contrived and played out. You could basically see every plot twist or big occurrence coming from far away, so the entire movie was just you waiting for it to happen.
Not to mention it had some really bad "meaningful" lines. Such as "I was going to learn something they could never teach me in Harvard," and other lines that were supposed to obviously be inspiring or moving, but were kind of cliché. And a lot of what he said about fighting was pretty much covered in Fight Club and every other movie about fighting ever.
But I thought the fight scenes were well done. And yeah, overall it was a good movie, just not mind blowing.
