By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) All people, great or small, can dance and should not be ashamed to flaunt it. This is the message that the adorably sweet, but also cliche and formulaic, Cuban Fury delivers. Edgar Wright regular, Nick Frost, stars as Bruce Garrett, a man who, due to a… Continue reading Review: CUBAN FURY
