  1. I still have not watched this and I have been told to is this basically a different version of Karate Kid meets Rocky?
    So you need to change the format a little on this as you are just explaining the plot, using comparisons with similar films in this genre would give you the opportunity to enter your opinion and show your understanding of the film makers approach to this film. Think about these again C.C.C.E.O how many did you use this time? what would you add going forward?
