Pretty typical, but also very enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2011)

There is nothing really new here, it's similar to the Karate Kid. However, this is much better in my opinion. I found the Karate Kid to be really cheesy and unrealistic, while this is very easy to relate to. I could almost see it happening in the real world. I like the main character. And in most cases I am usually bored in movies by the time of climax and typically want the antagonist to win, however this time I felt genuinely attached and excited about the final battle, which was very surprising for me. Also, the soundtrack is integrated seamlessly into the movie, so why not give this movie a try. Maybe not the best movie ever, but very fun to watch
