Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2008)

Over The Top is Stallone's shining moment in the late eighties when he proved to everybody he didn't need to carry a Gun or a set of boxing gloves. Over The Top was one of his greatest roles ever his Lincoln Hawk is a truck driver who left his wife and son for reasons of his own but he never forgot them and he kept in contact with them as the boy grew. However The Boy's Wealthy Grandfather never forgave his wife for marrying beneath her class and never forgave Hawk for leaving them Jason Cutler has spent the past ten years poisoning his grandson against his father. When Lincoln Hawk shows up one day to pick his son up from military school and to drive him to see his dying wife in the hospital Hawk wants to establish a relationship with his son. Meanwhile he nourishes a secret dream of his own. To enter the Las Vegas Arm Wrestling Championship to win the Title and a Brand new Semi. That's the story in a nutshell The Acting is good and very well done Stallone breaks out of his action imposed exile long enough to remind us that he is a very good actor Robert Loggia delivers a hateful performance as Jason Cutler a man who doesn't like to lose and wants to destroy Hawk at all costs even at the expense of his grandson's love. The Late Rick Zumwalt is the one of the reason's the movie has stood out so well his Bull Harley is one of the most memorable character I have seen Bull is not a villain but he's not a good Guy either he's just a working man looking out for himself in a world that won't look out for him. The Story is nothing earth shaking original it's old and Time worn and Cliché after cliché the movie is a cliché Heaven but the movie makers cared enough to add some touches that make it stand out and put together a Fantastic Cast that makes you care about them and worry bout them. Not a Classic movie by any means but it should be a contender. A good strong family movie for the whole family.
