A boxing movie done up in Naval Academy drag, Annapolis stars James Franco (Spider-Man, Tristan & Isolde) as Jake Huard, a shipbuilder's son who wants to prove to his father--and to himself--that he can cut it as a Naval officer. But at the Academy he runs afoul of a hard-nosed training officer named Cole (Tyrese Gibson, Four Brothers), who does all he can to drive Huard out of the school. They end up settling their differences in the boxing ring during the Academy's annual competition. Annapolis is a bundle of cliches, from Huard's interracial mix of roommates to the lessons he learns about teamwork, but it's an efficient and vigorous bundle of cliches. Director Justin Lin (Better Luck Tomorrow) keeps the pace swift and the visuals snappy, particularly in the boxing scenes. Franco and Gibson work hard to outdo each other's burning gazes; both are handsome men of modest acting talent, but they suit their roles reasonably well. Also featuring Jordana Brewster (The Fast and the Furious), Donnie Wahlberg (Saw II), and the always charming Chi McBride (Roll Bounce). --Bret Fetzer

I don't understand why all the reviews of this film seem to be bad. It was well acted by James Franco and Tyrese Gibson. It was entertaining from start to finish. If you like military school action films then you will definitely like this one.

Great Movie December 5, 2008
Dave (United States)
I can't believe this movie is only getting 3 stars. It is a great flic. I'm not going to tell you why. Just watch it. Either you get it, or you don't.
I will say this: best scene in the movie is at the end when the Dad gives the kid a nod of approval. That's all he ever wanted!
