"...A pure pugilistic fairytale..."
"...Writer-star Sylvester Stallone's parable of redemption remains not only the sports-film paragon but one of the most successful low-budget movies ever..."
"[S]triking a blow for underdogs with more heart than smarts, and bringing apple-pie values and feel-good endings back into vogue."
4 stars out of 5 -- "A fine, scuffed, sweaty slab of romantic pulp sentimentalism."
