You know what's ultimately the worst part about Robert Clouse's Gymkata? There's very little actual gymkata in it! There's a whole mess of poorly choreographed, poorly filmed, and poorly acted fight scenes, most of them little more than white people in ridiculous brownface madly flailing weapons about. But there's only a couple of scenes where the main character, an acrobat/spy, actually uses gymnastics to fight the forces of evil! It doesn't help that the main character has all the charisma and acting talent of soggy newspapers. This might sound like an odd nitpick, but the editing is atrocious. The story goes so fast in the first fifteen minutes that it felt like I had watched two whole movies! Tempo, people, tempo!
2/10
