Good movie

I saw this movie a couple of days ago and i was really impressed! At first i thought that this would just be another brain-dead movie but it was so much more. Solid acting, good story and nice fighting scenes.

The thing i don't understand are the bad review about this movie. Sure, it isn't something new, it's basically a "Karate Kid" clone but made in the 21th century. It gives you a nice story and is a solid flick, not a prizewinner or something but considering that it gives you what it promises then it's a great movie. Don't expect Fightclub or anything like that, this is something more "simple".

The story is about Jake Tyler, a kid who just has moved to Florida. He start school but before he knows it he gets beaten silly by another kid in school who is a really skilled MMA fighter. Now Jake takes up training to fight back but realizes that revenge isn't everything and also makes new friends and a girlfriend. It's a classical story, nothing new but it still works. The plot is engaging and you really want to see Jake succeed with his training and his emotional travel. The acting is good, sometimes it can get a bit over the line but otherwise it's good. The fight in this movie are well executed. One thing that is really bad in this movie is when they show Jakes younger brother, a tennis star. He is so annoying with his "sweetness" and the fact that all the kid does is act smart by mumbling up numbers and facts about tennis.

I recommend you to see this move, it will be much better then you think!
