You'll most likely enjoy F.I.S.T. as much as I did: enough to casually recommend the thing, but not all that loudly or excitedly.

F.I.S.T. is a big movie that benefits more from the accumulation of small, ordinary detail than from any particular wit or inspiration of vision. It's also played with great conviction by its huge cast.

So-so Sly Stallone as labor leader (like Hoffa). Diversion at best.

F.I.S.T. is another in a long line of well-made films that excel in their particulars, even if they fall a little short as complete, complex pieces of cinema.

F.I.S.T. is to the labor movement in the United States what All the King's Men was to an era in American politics.

It is well-trodden territory, with nothing exciting or enlightening offered.
March 25, 2013
Stallone's performance is a superb blend of stubborn-jawed gravity and ironic hamming.
March 25, 2013
Stallone likes to depart from his customary muscle image from time to time. Often it fails, but sometimes he succeeds, as in this interesting (albeit somewhat flawed) drama of a Hoffa-like trade union leader.
March 25, 2013
F.I.S.T. stands for nearly 2 1/2 hours of almost unmitigated boredom-a misfired would-be proletarian epic with Sylvester Stallone misplaying the Jimmy Hoffa part with a self-confidence that borders on the sublime.
