Only the Strong Ratings & Reviews
Medium Popcorn
Justin Brown
Mark Dacascos did the work in this. Capoeira is not easy and I think the movie did a good job representing this fighting style. I greatly enjoyed this movie.
Medium Popcorn
Brandon Collins
This film is so out of control yet incredibly boring and uninteresting. The acting was either stiff as wood or absurdly over the top.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
It wraps up neatly with a touch of silliness, but, ultimately, as an action-packed demonstration of capoeira, this film is wholly proficient.
Philadelphia Daily News
Gary Thompson
Solved: the problem of impoverished, understaffed, crime-ridden, drug- infested inner city schools. The solution: bongo music and a new Brazilian brand of martial arts that transforms incorrigible students into zealous anti-crime mercenaries.
Chicago Tribune
Steve Rhodes
The cinematography is jarring and dizzying at times; the acting mediocre.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Roger Hurlburt
Dacascos and Prieto are fine athletes, to be sure. But that is not enough to make Only the Strong more than a passing fancy destined for cable TV.
Variety
Brian Lowry
Only the simple-minded will find much to cheer in this martial arts actioner, which has the queasy feel of a movie slapped together by the marketing department.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A movie that exists solely for its fight sequences and to show off its star's muscles and gymnastic grace.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
I expected it to be an obligatory late-summer, mindless, plotless action film. I was wrong. It's a late-summer, mindless, plotless action film with a message. I think I prefer this sorts of film when it doesn't try to preach.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I have a sinking feeling that the makers of this film feel it is in some way exemplary and even useful.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
There's not terribly much more going on in this movie than the physical movement itself.
Washington Post
Joe Brown
The film is clumsily assembled and edited, heavy on the slow-mo, and its simplistic story plays like The Kids From Fame armed with very sharp knives.
Washington Post
Richard Harrington
If only the plot were a little less obvious, the confrontations a little less cliched.
