Annapolis

It's known as one of the toughest institutions is America--a home for the best and brightest who are driven to serve their country and a training facility where only the strongest survive. It's a rarified world that, by necessity, makes or breaks tomorrow's heroes

I was hoping that James Franco could breathe new life into this tired movie formula but it just isn't so. James Franco has really picked up steam ever since the original Spiderman movie, starring in such great films as the Great Raid. However, this is not a good addition to his resume. Jordana Brewster helps make this movie watchable but hardly anything could compensate for the horrible acting of Tyrese Gibson as the commanding officer.

Typical PG-13 fare. Some language, a few sexual comments, a bit of violence and no nudity.

As implausable as Jarhead and not nearly as entertaining, it's no wonder that the Navy refused to help the movie producers with this movie. This is one you can skip.
