only the strong

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107750/

troubled kids: threat, or menace?  just kidding, this is an uplifting story about how martial arts can turn a troubled kid's life around.  usually they do it with karate or something like that, but "only the strong" harnesses the beat-driven power of capoeira.  other than flavour, you can really plug any kind of activity that requires discipline into a movie like this.  the plot is the same.

so anyway.  as far as martial arts films like this go, it had terrible acting, fighting, stunts, and morals.  interestingly, they went with the non-standard message that fighting is encouraged.  i imagine capoeira practitioners everywhere exercising one big, long, drawn-out wince that lasts the whole movie long.

only the strong gets one handstandy kick to the face.  it would be less, but the scale does not go any lower than that.  sorry.
