Great job by Stallone here

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2006)

Maybe Sylvester Stallone isn't exactly the best actor around, but in this one I think he was very good. He just fit perfectly the part of the rather calm and sometimes emotional truck driver he was playing. The story in this movie is pretty good, and also it has a whole lot of the best the 80's had to offer. A great example is the film's soundtrack, it's truly great. The arm-wrestling championship was really entertaining, and some of the guys there were really cool.
Even though this is partly a drama movie, it should only be considered as mindless, total fun that only the decade of the 80's was able to perform.
