    This movie has some definite problems, but you know what? I enjoyed the hell out of it. And I don’t think that’s just because I’m an absolute sucker for these kinds of movies (though I definitely am). This is a Karate Kid movie that gets the ‘Karate Kid’ part dead on, with a GREAT lead turn from Ben Wang, who is extremely charming and charismatic, and probably the most physically convincing lead in any of the Karate Kid films when it comes to the actual martial arts.

LEGAL immigrants, illegally renditioned to a foreign concentration camp. 50 of them. Of course everyone imprisoned there deserves release because A) it's a concentration camp, and B) Trump admin did this all 100% illegally. But still - 50 legal immigrants, disappeared. Evil.

Cato published my review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense. https://t.co/g0IKTmY7TE
