His whole life was a million-to-one shot

My rating: 4 out of 5

Rocky Balboa is a struggling boxer trying to make the big time. Working in a meat factory in Philadelphia for a pittance, he also earns extra cash as a debt collector. When heavyweight champion Apollo Creed visits Philadelphia, his managers want to set up an exhibition match between Creed and a struggling boxer, touting the fight as a chance for a “nobody” to become a “somebody”. The match is supposed to be easily won by Creed, but someone forgot to tell Rocky, who sees this as his only shot at the big time.

Det här är säkert en film som man ska ha sett som ung för att uppsakatta den riktigt mycket i dagens läge. Ungefär som Karate Kid. Tyvärr ser jag den först nu och.. Det är en bra film. Riktigt bra. Men den är ändå inte den toppfilmen som många säger att den är.
