Only the Strong

Only the Strong may be the worst film I’ve ever seen. That’s what happens when Hollywood gets its hands of capoeira – it becomes typical kung-fu to use against Hispanic gangs of baddies. And the main guy’s form was truly saroba. Thank goodness they got some decent players on at the end…though some real interaction would’ve been better than a showcase of acrobatics at opposite ends of an imagined roda. People won’t learn a thing about capoeira from watching this movie – it would be better if it did not exist.
