Rocky

...historien om en lite för gammal boxares uppgång står sig som en av Stallones starkaste insatser både framför och bakom kameran.

...rak, ärlig och naturlig och bitvis vansinnigt rolig.

This is really Sly's movie as he slugs his way through a heartfelt performance and delivers some cracking punches, both literally and emotionally.

It involves us emotionally, it makes us commit ourselves: We find, maybe to our surprise after remaining detached during so many movies, that this time we care.

...it's as much a tender love story as it is about ring action.
