Full Plot Details

It's 1946 in Hell's Kitchen in New York City. Cosmo Carboni, the eldest of the three Carboni brothers, is lamenting what he sees as them not living up to their potential. Big talking Cosmo hustles and panhandles for money. Brooding Lenny Carboni, an injured veteran whose sullen attitude stems from his time in the war, is an undertaker. And youngest Victor Carboni, the simple muscle-man who wouldn't hurt a fly unless he's annoyed, is an iceman. Victor looks to Lenny and his Chinese-American girlfriend Susan Chow as his voices of reason. After Victor holds his own against wrestler Frankie the Thumper in an arm wrestling match, Frankie who is seen as the strongest man in the neighborhood, and after seeing the lucrative wrestling matches - which are more like street fights without rules - at the underground nightclub called Paradise Alley, Cosmo gets it into his head that wrestling may be Victor's calling and a way for them all to get out of Hell's Kitchen for good. The brothers would act as trainer and manager. Lenny, doing it only to ensure Victor's safety, and Victor, who is rechristened "Kid Salami", ultimately agree. But instead of bonding the brothers closer together, the wrestling life and their relationship to a taxi dancer named Annie threatens to tear them apart as their priorities start to diverge. And a wrestling match with Frankie, who, with his sadistic manager, Stitch Malone, treats it as a grudge match, may threaten Victor's life altogether.

The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Ignatiy VishnevetskyStriking in the way it evokes fears of abandonment—children’s worries blown up to grown-up scale—and completely unlike any film Stallone has put his name on since.
Newsweek - 6/10 by Jack KrollA phony, attitudinizing, self-indulgent mess, a multimillion-dollar B (for boring) picture with the ear of a cauliflower, the heart of a hustler and the soul of a used-car salesman.
DVDTalk.com - 4/10 by Scott WeinbergEqual parts unintentionally hilarious, unbearably earnest, and shamelessly derivative.
User Review - 10/10 by Catherine DC Vrm Bon ste Film la !! C triste mais c Trop bon !!
User Review - 10/10 by Ovi Gthis an amazing story about the harsh time of the 70s in one of the toughtst neighbourhoods back then, Hell's Kitchen and about 2 guys Sylvester Stallone and Armand Assante who try to find their way out of that shit hole, i all begins with a fight that Cosmos's(Stallone) brother wins and he tries to exploit him, but ass soon as u hit high shit starts happening like always!!! a great film with good cast and with the directing skillz of Stallone himself....think it was his first film produced by him!!!
