For any Stallone fan who has seen Rocky, FIST or even Copland and expects to see their favorite tough-nice-guy in another movie, think again. Only Stallone could go from the extreme of Rocky and end up playing the other end of the spectrum as the be-all and end-all of bad guys, as Jack Carter. He has his reasons for being this way but Carter is frankly dispicable, which is the goal with this movie. He's just plain ugly and Stallone does an incredible job of making you hate him. The only good thing, is that you hate the antagonists even more than you hate Carter. A great movie with directing like nothing you have seen, this movie hits home. Right up there with the best.
