Review of Paradise Alley (1978) by Dave R — 15 Aug 2010

What I liked was the reversal of Assante and Stallone's characters. I felt that was a very strong quality of this film. Definitely has some elements of Rocky in there. The acting was fine by some, bad by others, but I think the main characters (Lenny, Cosmo) were done very well in the way they think and feel.

I've considered Stallone a very underrated writer especially in his early days. Definitely an overlooked Stallone movie that should be checked out esp. if youre a fan of his.
