A bad movie

Honestly, I was expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Sylvester Stallone, I thought I might as well give a try. Well, Stallone has done some pretty lame movies in the 80’s (later on that as well, as a matter of fact…) but this one is definitely one of the worst ones. Apparently, Sylvester Stallone himself was well aware how bad the whole thing was and did it just because Menahem Golan offered him an insane amount of money. Basically, the whole thing is a rather odd and misguided mix between a family drama and sport feature involving arm wrestling, of all sports. Right from the start, you get a really cheesy scene with Stallone cleaning up his truck with some typical corny 80’s music. From that point, they never looked back and the whole thing was just pathetic. The weird thing is some of the scenes about the father-son relationship were not bad at all but these scenes were lost in the rest of the movie which was pretty worthless. To conclude, it was pretty bad and I don’t think it is really worth a look whatsoever, except maybe if you are a huge fan of Sylvester Stallone.
