Heroes' Peter Delivers a Knock-Out in Rocky 6

docarzt · 12-20-2006, 02:46 AM

Since defining the working mans hero nearly thirty years ago, Sylvester Stallone has had little luck turning out anything more than self-effacing efforts that, lately, have landed him in the direct-to-dvd market more than once. So naturally, the critical fore-flashing of Rocky (yes another one) Six was to the tune of 'can't get it back', or 'don't know what'cha got, till it's gone.'

Not surprisingly, by sticking to the roots of Rocky by embodying not just the under-dog, but the over-the-hill dog, Rocky Six comes off as sincere characterized fun. One of the bright spots is provided by Heroes' own Milo Ventimiglia, who plays Rocky Jr., the ex-champs estranged son.
