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. Mar 26, 2009

A paean to the Brazilian martial art of capoeira harks back to those break-dancing quickies. Jan 26, 2006 | Full Review…

A movie that exists solely for its fight sequences and to show off its star's muscles and gymnastic grace. May 20, 2003

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. Jan 1, 2000 | Full Review…

If only the plot were a little less obvious, the confrontations a little less cliched. Jan 1, 2000 | Full Review…

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. Jun 17, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

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. Jun 17, 2014 | Full Review…

There's not terribly much more going on in this movie than the physical movement itself. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

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. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

I have a sinking feeling that the makers of this film feel it is in some way exemplary and even useful. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

Definitely a 90s movie, no more, no less. A good action flick overall. My major problem was the way that the bad guy talked...his voice was terrible, I couldnt take him seriously, I just laughed every time he was on the screen.

Cool Randomm Movies....Check It Out ^_^
Mark Dacascos does this triple lindy like spin kick horizontal to the ground - cool shit!
Mark Dacascos makes a fantastic performance as a world-class, martial arts champion pits his strength and know-how against juvenile gangs and teaches them self-respect. The martial-arts sequences using the Brazilian Capoeira techniques are exciting to watch, and the story, though predictable, is well staged and well acted.
