The Rookie (2002)

I thought it could have been tightened up quite a bit and the dramatic tension increased. Quaid and Griffiths were good, of course – it’s the script that let them down. Too many of the "color characters" just flat could not act; and his son was less cute than annoyingly cute – a bit like Jonathan Lipnicki. There's no denying it's an inspiring tale, though!
