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

Reviews for F.I.S.T.
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.
Stallone shows signs of greatness here. Jewison's direction is slick and steady.
