Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

edflores-49350 I've seen some bad movies in my time, but this one is one of the worst.

bkoganbing The acting levels are not high and the film looks like it was shot on a hamstring in Miami locations. Still Only The Strong has a good bit of entertainment going with it. Martial Arts film fans should be happy with it.Geoffrey Lewis quite unofficially brings in former Special Forces captain Mark Dascascos for a karate program for some of his biggest challenges at an urban Miami high school he teaches at. Among those kids is Richard Coca, cousin of the neighborhood gang leader Paco Christian Prieto.Though film isn't exactly Citizen Kane, Prieto is such a menacing presence you will remember him long after the rest of the film. Especially next to white bread hero Mark Dascascos. Prieto doesn't like anyone telling the kids there's an alternative other than gang war for them. Especially when it involves Coca. Then it becomes downright personal.Martial Arts film fans will love Only The Strong and others will be entertained.

cathywm Whilst the action scenes may not be the hottest around, Only The Strong succeeds in sending a healthy message to young people - there is more than one way to enjoy your youth and assert yourself; don't use violence except in self-defence. Marc Dacascos is convincing as Louis Stevens who used to be a rebelious teenager himself, but succeeded in learning from his mistakes and now wishes to make a difference in the lives of others.The unique fighting style combined with rythm and music produced lots of healthy entertainment and sent the message that persons capable of self defence could also be creative and sensitive.

PlayIt2TheGrave This movie is great. Personally I like it for the fighting more than the story but the story was good too. Perhaps its not as good as matrix but it's the best for its kind, realism wise that is. So go out there and watch it.
