''you're gonna eat lightning and you're gonna crap thunder''

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2008)

put this in the list of the best 5 drama movies ever made with probably the best performance ever from Sylvester Stallone and not less from burgess Meredith,Burt young and Talia shire.It's the story of a simple and ordinary man's life which turned to be an American hero for many audiences that watched this low budget but incredibly beautiful movie.It made Sylvester Stallone's career alongside with his other great movie FIRST BLOOD stands as his best movies the sequels where good too ,but this one had heart.Great merits even goes too director JOHN G.AVILDSEN who helped this low budget become the movie of the year.1976 was the year that everyone should remember ROCKY,TAXI DRIVER,OBSESSION,THE OMEN,CARRIE AND ASSAULT ON PRECINT 13 what do we need more for a year.
