Despite Nothing Nice To Say, Still an Enjoyable Film

Rating: 6/10 (4 September 2005)

Sylvester Stallone stars as Sylvester Stallone, though unlike his usual appearance as a down-and-out boxer who comes back to fight in a championship, this time Stallone is a down-and-out truck driver who comes back to fight in a championship. So don't worry if you thought Stallone might try to do something un-Stallone (he wrote this screenplay, too). Along the way, he must reclaim the love of his son he abandoned and fight off thugs and professional wrestlers who show up to steal his son and arm wrestle him for kicks. This film has a multitude of plot holes and whoever edited this film should be shot for not noticing that Stallone's name changes a dozen times throughout the film. Despite this, the film is still fun in an 80s Stallone sort of way, and like all great 80s films contains a montage theme song from Kenny Loggins, turning a son's hate into love with less than 30 seconds on the clock. Not recommended, unless you're drunk.
