Review of F.I.S.T.

F.I.S.T. (1978)
5/10
Movie starts out okay but isn't much good after the hero makes it big.

F.I.S.T. is typically belittled when it is mentioned at all. But is it worth watching? It starts out okay as a nobody becomes a successful somebody, but it isn't much good after the hero makes it big. If they wanted to do Jimmy Hoffa's life, they should have done Jimmy Hoffa's life! I can't complain about the acting. It's probably one of Sylvester Stallone's better movies. It does give you a feel for unions and strikes. It was filmed in Dubuque, Iowa, among other places. Antique truck enthusiasts might want to watch it once. I remember seeing a White. Might be other makes in it. I remember a scene where a bunch of trucks pull out of a yard one after another. Could have been they had only one truck and showed it over and over again. There was a TV movie called Power with Joe Don Baker and Brian Kerwin which was also loosely based on Jimmy Hoffa's life.
