Review of Sly

Sly (2023)
7/10
Wasted potential

Warning: Spoilers
I grew up in the 80's as a teen so Stallone and Schwarzenegger were my favorite action heroes. Just a special thanks to Bruce Willis and Die Hard movie. So consequently, I love all of them, but...

First and foremost, Sly has more acting talent than Schwarzenegger. They were great both, but after watching this short documentary, I can say that overall, Sly acting career is better than Arnold. But to be honest, Arnold probably has more charisma. That's how he become the Governator of California.

Second, this documentary feels rushed and incomplete. A big wasted opportunity. Some topics are barely spoken and it is a shame. Overall it looks like a bit superficial even they *spoiler alert* talk about his lost son. It feels incomplete, not like the Arnold's documentary series. A shame.

Anyway, overall the documentary is good but feels incomplete. A wasted opportunity, and clearly lost potential because of Netflix. I loved what I watched but feels short to explain the career of Sly. Anyway, I recommend to people who were born around the 80's and 90's. Probably, Tik Tok generation doesn't know anything about this man. So definitely, not for them.
