Format: DVD
This is definitely one of Stallone's best movies with a good plot and fine performances from the likes of Rod Steiger & Peter Boyle.
The period feel (it starts in the 30's and moves through to the 60's) is well captured. The riot and strike breaking scenes are particularly well done and the verbal clash between Stallone's union leader and Rod Steiger's Senator are highlights of the movie.
So why only 3 stars ? Because the print used here is a cut down version ! A key sequence towards the end where the mob bosses plan to eliminate Stallone or Steiger (it is never clear which until the end of the movie) is missing. This scene is always missing from TV prints also, but I expected it to be included in the DVD version.
Even more unforgiveable the opening (which IS shown when the film has played on tv) is also cut out.I am deeply aggrieved at paying out for a version which is chopped and not even as complete as one taped from TV.

What is it about some directors and stars that make them follow up their biggest hits with misleadingly titled movies that just set them up for audience disappointment? Audiences seeing a film called Sorcerer from the director of The Exorcist advertised with a grimacing statue probably weren't too thrilled to find a thriller about truck drivers in South America and an audience lured into a film called F.I.S.T. by posters of Sly Stallone, fresh from Rocky, wielding an axe handle at the head of a mob probably weren't best pleased to find they'd bought a ticket to a drama about the growth and corruption of the American union movement. F.I.S.T. in this case stands for Federal Inter-State Truckers - not, absolutely not, the Teamsters - and Stallone plays the union organiser who brings the mob in to win a strike only to find he can't get them out who absolutely isn't Jimmy Hoffa even if he does end up as a question mark on a bumper sticker.

Directed by Norman Jewison from a Joe Eszterhas script with cinematography by Lazlo Kovacs, it's an admirably ambitious film. Charting the union from its days as hungry men with no rights to fat men by the pool with young girls who aren't their wives as the small group of bullied workers in the 30s grows into the biggest bully on the block by the 60s when Stallone comes up against Rod Steiger's racket busting senator, it's strangely lacking in punch or impact. There are good scenes and some inspired casting - not least Kevin Conway in the kind of role Brian Donlevy would have played in the 30s and 40s - but it often feels flat and underdeveloped. Jewison manages to keep Steiger and Peter Boyle's performances in check, but he's less successful with Stallone.

Great Stallone performance on Blu-ray. just a few pointers about the Disc/Packaging. You only get the Blu-ray disc no DVD as stated on the artwork. The artwork has been changed and the disc no longer states blu-ray and DVD on the front.The product itself is from T2 Entertainment Soul Media.the synopsis on the back is in Dutch i think or Scandinavian.
Picture is 1080/50i MPEG - 4 AVC, Sound Dolby Stereo, no special features just subtitles.
I must say this is the best picture i have seen from this film and it's worth the purchase, it plays on UK players as stated on the back as region B.

This film makes a better job at detailing the Checkered History of American Union/Teamsters than the more drawn out Hoffa ever could.You get Stallone in semi Serious mode (By that I mean its hard to take the Boxer/Gun toting Killing Machine in a role like this) as well as the Great and Hammy Steiger. One of Stallone's Best.

Very, very, good film. Loosely based on the Jimmy Hoffa story. Stallones best role since the original Rocky and 1st Blood. If you like a film with a good story, believeable characters and plenty of good action set pieces, this is the film for you! 8/10

F.I.S.T. is a bad release on DVD on Region 2, not only is it in the full frame, there's a lot edited from it. From what the Region 1 version states, it's wide screen with a lot more footage in it.

Stallone shows his acting worth in this depression-era masterpiece from Jewison. Peter Boyle plays his part well. Rod Steiger is fantastic opposite Stallone.
