Underdog Kids (2015)
9/10
Very good movie for kids, and lots of potential for Phillip Rhee to grow from here
7 July 2015
I watched this movie because I am a big fan of the Phillips Rhee's Best of the Best series. As an adult I still managed to enjoy the movie even though it was aimed for kids, however its best to watch it with you kids or nephews.

For the criticism this movie is getting with regards to acting, and camera editing, we should keep in mind that Rhee directed, wrote, and produced it so the budget isn't high. His movies have always served to deliver a good message to martial arts learners, and that's what he does here. Kids can learn a lot of lessons from this which they wont find in any of the karate kids for example, and that's what this movie is all about. For those expecting a triple A movie don't watch this or you'l be missing the point.

The only complaint I have was that the movie felt too rushed and I agree with the review saying perhaps they tried to fit in too much into 1 hour and a half. there wasn't enough time for the characters to develop.

Its very good to see Phillip Rhee, a master martial artist, acting again and hopefully he continues making more movies. 30 years after Best of the Best, his new movie is still pushing forward positive messages and showing how passionate he is about delivering his message. We need more from this man and less from the mindless violence of Hollywood action star clones.
