If you’ve never seen a martial arts movie – or anything starring either Arnold Schwarzenegger or Danny Glover – Jiu Jitsu might blow your mind. If you have – and that likely includes most of us – you’re assured to be unimpressed because Jiu Jitsu is too derivative of much better movies like Predator (1987), […]
