Manliness/Coolness rating - 10/10

Yes, a perfect 10.  While he certainly makes a mistake, he goes about correcting it in the most coolest, manliest way possible and it doesn’t involve killing a bunch of people like a 80s action flick.  He ain’t afraid to fight anyone, he picks up the hot girl, and everything he does, he does it so cool.  Then he goes and risks his life for what he feels is right.  His own brother holds him at gun point, and he just stays cool.  At the end, he proves that he is a tough son of a bitch, and ends up helping all the hard working ship workers a lot with his actions.   Must watch movie.
