not as good when compared to rocky but worth and fun to watch

Rating: 7/10 (27 April 2009)

May be quite a few people not like the film but some how this film cant disappoint whatever. I do like it although it doesn't really fit to the standard of rocky trilogy but again if you observe sly again portrayed himself as an underdog like he did in rocky balboa. Here he is also pitted against a more difficult time when he is fighting for his right to claim back his son from his wealthy influential father in law regardless whatever it takes ,but all he want to do is just by dint of his own will power ,not through somebody being a benefactor. That s why he left his wife coz he couldn't live his life under the shadow and dominance of her father although it could had made his life quite comfortable. He also win his son s heart and to make him stand for something and keep his head high so he can live with himself. Then he goes for an international arm wrestling competition where the odds are quite against him , but now here you can see its again what we saw in rocky , its about how hard you get hit and keep moving forward. The 80s movie were really classic and sly do proved. The movie's sound track is fantastic and wrestling scenes are impressive.
