User Review
Should be mandatory viewing for those who rip on Sly
Rating: 10/10
This got some of the best reviews of any recent Stallone film, and after
seeing it, I understand why. It's an absolutely hilarious, wonderful
movie
that shows one of Sly's best performances, and a great supporting cast.
It
was a long time before I got around to seeing it, but man, am I glad I
did.
I haven't laughed this much in a long time. And to those of you who jump
on
the negative hype bandwagon and make fun of Stallone like a bunch of
lemmings, check this one out.
