A Good Try.

Rating: 7/10 (19 March 1999)

"Over the Top" was Sylvester Stallone's big try to make an action/drama that ranked up their with "Rocky". It fails and said to be his worst movie. Well it isn't his worst movie ("Cobra" is his worst) but it isn't one of his best. The plot isn't that exciting either, about a truck driver trying to make up for lost time with his son but first having to get by the ruthless grandfather Rober Loggia. This film does have a pretty good climax with Stallone entering an arm wrestling tournament to win some extra cash. But as always like in the "Rocky" movies, he manages to pull it out. Only watch if you're a true Sly fan. ** out of ***** stars.
