The Irishman in reverse
F.I.S.T. is a perfectly fine, totally ham-fisted, occasionally boring, sometimes charming, overly long faux-biopic. There is a really strong 90-minute movie in here, focusing on the late 1930s, pro-union scuffles in Cleveland, but when it attempts to flush out the story of “definitely not Jimmy Hoffa” and gray hair dye substitutes de-aging CGI, the film gets bogged down. In the beginning, Sly Stallone, in his first post-Rocky role, is as charming as he’s ever been on screen. Coupled with Bill Conti’s terrific score and some great supporting performances, it’s a masterfully painted if not paint-by-numbers film the reliable Norman Jewison. |
