Review of Over the Top

Over the Top (1987)
8/10
Lincoln Hawk
9 March 2021
An underrated film that is actually a family drama with an interesting story and good characters.

We follow Lincoln Hawk's efforts to bond with his son, a bond opposed by his grandfather who sees Lincoln as a failure.

Throughout the film, we see that not everything is so simple, Lincoln tries to be the best father possible and show his son that life brings successes and failures. Preparing for the arm wrestling competition, they travel in his truck to their destination.

Today, there are no more films like this, unfortunately. There are no films like this that are both entertaining and emotional. This kind of story captivates us with its simple charm, which shows us that there are people who care for their family exactly the way they should.

The film is actually a touching family drama full of emotions packed in the fun style of movies we used to see in the eighties.

A simple film full of emotions that shows what a father is ready to do for his son.

The cast is good, the film is well directed, and the soundtrack is great.

A film that celebrates family, sacrifice and love.
