The Hulk, but not the green one.
Sylvester Stallone stars in this "Superhero" movie which is very similar to a great deal many others , but it is still a fun watch with an excellent cast, story, action and of course the totally unbelievable superhero antics of Sylvester as he navigates helping a young admirer and his struggling mother in a slum area of a random city (it's never mentioned) and the constant remembrances of his past life as the real life superhero Samaritan, things are not what they seem and a gang of thugs raid the local police warehouse to get a legendary sledge hammer of Samaritan's foe, his brother "Nemesis" who supposedly died in a fire, to wreak havoc on the city and recreate the chaos that Nemesis caused in the past. What they don't know is that Sylvester is about to surprise the hell out of them. Good moral plots and good guy behaviors are exampled to the young admirer by "The Samaritan". Nice twist at the end. Was very surprised. Nothing questionable, no nudity or foul language, lots of violence, no gore, good solid action. A fun ride with a great cast. Enjoy! - Elvis-Del-Valle - 29 September 2023
A dramatic and more realistic superhero story
The movie isn't exactly what I expected, but it's not bad. The truth is I was expecting a superhero movie, but I'm not surprised that they did something different here, plus Stallone is already old, but it's good to see that he still has a spark for action movies. This film is like Rocky and Watchmen in showing a superhuman who wants to continue with a normal life, but that then changes as the film progresses. As a superhero movie it clearly leaves a lot to be desired, but in the end it is a movie that serves to pass the time. Plus, it's seriously worth it to keep watching Stallone kicking ass, that's what keeps his movies enjoyable for fans of this action star. I will rate it a 9/10.
