Ars gratia ars

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2002)

Curiously enough, seen 25 years after it was originally made, this looks like an art film. If this were shot today in northern Italy with an Italian cast, the story would ring just as credibly, but have an art house look. By anyone's standards, this was a fine piece of film making. The quality of Stallone's performance is underestimated.
