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

While I didn't mind the approach this movie took which is different from the typical prove-yourself-in the military theme, I really didn't see the point of this film.
Was Midshipman Cole really trying to oust Plebe Huard? I didn't get that impression at all. Tyrese played the character a little too cool. I couldn't tell if he was trying to hurt the guy or help the guy.
Franco did pretty decently as the kid without any support who wanted the Naval Academy bad enough and was trying to prove himself that he wasn't just a nobody.
But it was in the ring with the gloves on where the rubber met the road and where he would "find himself." At least it was supposed to be.
You are rooting for Franco because he is the underdog. You get the impression he's the underdog, but there wasn't really much "oomph" to this film to really grip you and make you want to sympathize with the character, or any of the characters for that matter.
Couldn't tell if this was trying to emulate Rocky or Officer and a Gentlemen. It didn't really do a good job of either.
Cinematography and the editting is great. Very good soundtrack. Resonant, triumphant yet humble. The theme music is suitable to the main character, but the story was just....meh.
Ashton Kutcher's The Guardian was more interesting.
Watchable to pass the time, but not one of Franco's best movies. I'd skip it.

I love this movie. It came quickly and in perfect condition as if I would have picked it up from the store myself. The price was unbeatable. I highly recommend this seller.
