Heroes dont die

Stone cold is a movie about a hero going up against amazing odds. This movie was one of the best 90's movies ever. it blended action nocely together with a good story. if you want a movie with impact and power then nothing is better than Stone Cold. Brian Bosworth, "the bozz" headlines this vehicle and gives you the best bang for your buck. i saw this movie in the theater and was blown away by it. Remember when movies would leave you with chills and on the edge of your seat? Thats what this movie does. it Holds nothing back. Arabella Holzbog is Stone Cold's love interest and is incredibly attractive. She lights up the screen and makes the movie even better. throw in some incredible action sequences, bad guys that you can't forget, and a great climax that has some of the best motorcycle work in film history, and you have a great film. 10 out of 10 all the way.
