Without a doubt, THE most blatantly partisan so-called "documentary" ever set to film! Jason Pollack's name should be shunned forever aa "documentary film maker! It is clear as clear can be that Michael Brown's "history" made quite clear that he was a career criminal in the making! He was hardly the "pure as the driven snow" individual he has been depicted by friends and family! Pollack's slanted film makes it appear that Officer Wilson was a predator who viciously killed this fine young Black man, who was innocently walking down the street, Lies, lies, and more lies, disproven by the facts! Facts, which Pollack's chooses to cavalierly dismiss as a "cover up," because the truth does not fit in with his agenda to depict Michael Brown as the "good guy!"

A fine flick, and a very engrossing storyline! The cast was excellent, each of them giving superb characterizations, but one is a STAND OUT!! That is the marvelous character actress, Evelyn Varden. She gave it her all in so many of the films in which she appeared.......most notably "Pinky," "The Bad Seed," "Night of the Hunter," and most especially, "Phone Call From a Stranger." She could play it "soft" or "tough," but TOUGH suited her really well! Such a fine character actress, who added tremendously to films in which she appeared! What a pity that we could not have seen her in so many other films before she passed from the scene!

Without a doubt, "F.IS.T." Is not merely Stallone's finest film performances, but one hell of a knockout performance! A thinly veiled account of the career of labor leader Jimmy Hoffa, this film is engrossing from beginning to end. The entire cast give believable performances, but it is Stallone to whom acting honors must go! Even the makeup job on cast members is believable, as the characters age over the years from "Kovack's" (Stallone's character) early rise to the time he reaches the pinnacle of power as a controversial national labor leader. The story holds your interest, as he makes his way up the ladder, first as a reluctant union organizer to finally heading up the most powerful labor group in the country. "F.I.ST." Is a picture that is not to be missed. No movie lover can fail to appreciate a film that has all the elements of fine movie-making........compelling story and excellent performances
