Annapolis (DVD, 2006, Widescreen)

The movie,Annapolis, follows the path of the main character, Jake Huard, who is barely accepted to the highly prestigious military academy, Annapolis. I thought that this movie started off on the right foot with an action packed boxing scene. But that's just it, this movie's title has you belive otherwise. The plot development was sorely lacking in many respects. First off, it was more like a boxing movie, than a movie of how life at Annapolis is. The whole point of the movie has the main character, Jake Huard, wanting to beat up one of senior instructors in a boxing match. In fact, this whole movie focuses on this one point. It gets pretty old really fast. Also, what bothered me the most is that the movie never really explores what happened to his overweight roomate,"Arkansas" either. He just get kicked out, and we don't get an explanation as to what happened to him next. I mean, was he re-admitted to Annapolis?I was scratching my head when this movie was over, really wanting to know what happened to his roomate when he got the nerve to jump out of his window for not passing his physical test and being thrown out of school. Anyhow, this film is pretty one dimensional. I thought it was really predictable, I would pass on this movie and rent Taps, now that's a real movie about a military school.
