Why were some reviewers surprised Stallone can act; have you guys seen the original Rocky? But at a time when Stallone was at the height of his stereotypical uber action hero, he decided to put on some weight and play this highly unusual character for him and what a great decision that was. Interesting story, great performances across the board, this is another one of the many gems the end of the 90s brought us and hasn't really aged 23 years later. Recommended!
