Movie itself was great, so different than than the Rambo sequels. No heroes or villains, just a few ####### cops and a vet with PTSD. That final monologue by Stallone where he completely breaks down is brilliant, probably the best acting of his entire career. It's a shame he didn't do more non-action movies in his prime, First Blood and the first 2 Rocky movies show that he had some real skills

It is such a great film, I revisit it every few years. Great performances all around, Stallone was great but Brian Dennehy just kills it in his performance.
We happened to overnight in Hope summer of 2021, my kids couldn't understand why I was so pumped to be there. LOL.
