Why draw the line between "so bad it's good" and a pedigreed artistic success?
Stallone gives an impressive performance
Poor Sly! He doesn't even know if his last name is Hawk or Hawks!
Mesmo que o roteiro insista em soluções fáceis e pouco verossímeis e que o clímax seja prejudicado pelo pouco potencial cinematográfico de um campeonato de queda-de-braço, Stallone envolve o espectador com seu carisma habitual.

Not enough ass-kicking, but the world does need at least one film about professional arm-wrestling
