 Annapolis appears to be one of those end-of-January releases that the studios toss out knowing that theaters are pretty empty at that time of year anyway. Stephen Holden in the New York Times writes that the movie "has enough material for an exciting trailer. But that's all the movie really is: a trailer tricked out with protracted boxing sequences and undernourished romantic subplot that culminates in a single tepid kiss." Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times sums it up as "an exhausted wheeze of bankrupt clichés and cardboard characters, the kind of film that has no visible reason for existing, except that everybody got paid." |
