This is a quite good heartwarming movie. In this movie Stallone plays a man who has separated from his wife. She is on her deathbed and she asks him to visit their son and get to know each other. Together they go into a trip to visit the kids mother and we watch them as their relationship develops. He is a man that has realized the fact that leaving his wife and son behind was a sign of weakness and tries to mend the bad he has done to his son. The arm-wrestling competition element in this movie is just the icing in a Rocky type of movie. The message of this 80's action drama is that "The world meets nobody halfway.", which is so true, as most adults already know. We make mistakes and problems will always arise, but we just have to keep on pushing forward. Believe it or not this is a family movie! And a good one I might add.
