Title: Movie Review: Annapolis Post by: Brian Fein on January 23, 2006, 11:06:36 pm Movie: Annapolis
Premise: Jacob Huard graduates from his job working in a shipyard building navy ships to enroll in Annapolis Naval Academy. He's faced with challenges and has to fight internal conflicts to succeed. Summary: Jacob Huard, a kid no one believed in, is faced with man's ultimate motivation - success in the face of disappointment. A boxer by hobby, Huard finds himself struggling through the academy, in order to defeat his critics and more importantly, his commanding officer. Rating: B- Editorial: I didn't know this was a boxing movie. I thought it was the story of going thru a military program, but ended up to be more about the kid's boxing with military undertones to set up the big Rocky-style finish. The ending is somewhat predictable, there's no twists, but if you ever needed motivation to get your ass in the gym, this is it. |
