Sylvester Stallone (yep, he’s still kicking it at age 76) stars in this superhero flick about a long-ago crusader living in anonymity in the fictional Granite City… until a precocious kid discovers his true identity. Good timing, because a local bad guy is starting to wreak havoc. It’s not a bad effort from director Julius Avery (especially considering the trainwreck it could have been), but it’s still missing some oomph to keep it going. It’s one of those “perfectly fine” films that will come and go without so much as a shrug.
2.5/5 stars
