Larger than life and forever glorious in his movies, but so vulnerable in real life. This documentary is half a review by Sly himself of his biggest franchises Rocky and Rambo. The other half is about his upbringing with a distant mother and a hardhitting and cold father and all the personal issues (regrets, mental pain and still wanting to prove himself to his father) that were molded into him in his youth and which "he cant shake out of..".
The good: Sylvester Stallone is a force of it's own. You can watch any interview with the man and it is always fascinating and funny to watch, but this documentary left me behind with a bit of a sad feeling, caused by the sad note this movie ends on, namely the fall of a once great action star. Why did they choose to use such a downer ending?
Let's watch one of the great classic movies Sylvester Stallone starred in, one for example being the terrific "Copland", or the visceral "Rambo" or the classic "Rocky", to forget that even this action hero is just another human like you and me...
