Only The Strong is a 1993 martial arts film about a soldier who returns home and his attempt to help a group of troubled youths channel their negative energy into a positive through teaching them Capoeira. But when the local gang gets wind of what's going on they don't take to the change in their new recruits very well.
It's not the best martial arts movie out there, but I've always liked it. Even with its simple and cliche plot, I always thought it was an entertaining story with some pretty good fight scenes. Capoeira is a unique style of martial arts that you don't see represented in movies very often.
The cast is good even though their characters are pretty limited in development, and although another cliche, the inner city school setting works well for the characters to thrive in. If you like martial arts movies and haven't seen this before, then it should be right up your alley.
