Annapolis will never be confused with an Oscar worthy movie, but it wasn't intended to be either.It is not a complicated plot so sit back and enjoy. It is a classic underdog story in the Rocky, Officer and a Gentleman way. The movie's pace is great and never gets bogged down trying to be something it is not. James Franco is gritty and principled and plays a hard nosed, blue collar kid from the shipyards located a stone's throw from the Naval Academy. He has a stoic, no fear attitude that fights for the little guy in all of us throughout the movie, and makes you want to stand up and applaud at points in the movie. The entire story is really well done and Franco is definitely on his way to stardom. The boxing scenes are really well done, better than most boxing movies I have seen. This movie has it all and you will enjoy it.
