F.I.S.T. 1978

A rather cleverly camouflaged retelling of the life and times of Jimmy Hoffa. Of course, all the names have been changed, but the story is obvious if you know the background. They even included a recreation of the Life magazine cover with Hoffa looking at you via the truck mirror and the bumper sticker on the truck tailgate at the end of the movie. Not quite up to the quality of the 1992 film with Jack Nicholson, but still worth the price of admission.

Sly as a gangster syndicalist in this movie.

I really believe this can happen all over again. Even today, if your employer got a wiff of someone trying to start a union, they'd find away to fire you so quick, you won't know what hit you. Damn, I had to turn on the subtitles for Stallone. How the hell he ended up the famous actor he is today? I guess it really helps to have had a mother who was into astrology.

Interesting look at the rise of a trade union worker. Stallone flexes his acting muscles instead in this one. It's good but not great.
