Enjoyable flick

Rating: 8/10 (21 September 2014)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Over the Top" (1987) is an enjoyable flick. The story is old as the movies itself, there is absolutely nothing original or particularly interesting, but at the end it works. Yes, there some unbelievable stuff, like kid traveling from his home to Las Vegas at end - come on... But one the other hand, it has Sylvester Stallone in his top form, in 1987 - it's surely the only reason to watch it anyway.
Overall, 8/10 - very nice music, composed by maestro Giorgio Moroder, corny but suitable for this material acting (altrough kid was mehh..), very predictable plot, and arms wrestling championship, when everything comes at the end to glory of fingertips literally. Kick back and enjoy.
