My review:

1) Predictable - Hmmm....old white guy lives in the inner city. I wonder how this is going to end?

2) Tired out plot - Hmmmm....white guy comes into a neighborhood where the minorities don't know how to act. He teaches them how to be responsible, pick up girls, read, talk, drive, etc. White guy saves the day!! (replace neighborhood with a school, country, etc., and you have yourself another movie)

3) Asian people in American "no speaky englissshhh", drive honda civics, raise chickens in their back yards, and don't mow their lawns.

I enjoyed the movie quite honestly, but it was a little over the top in the stereotypes. We get it, old white guys who drive old vintage cars and have guns are cool...especially when they kick the asses of minorities.

IMHO, Sudden Impact, Dirty Harry and Magnum Force were waaaaay better.
