	Media	Author	Review
		TV Guide	"Beautiful photography from Kovacs and an excellent acting job by Stallone"
		Richard Schickel Time	"The movie F.I.S.T. stands for nearly 2½ hours of almost unmitigated boredom"
		Vincent Canby The New York Times	"'F.I.S.T'. is a big movie that benefits more from the accumulation of small, ordinary detail than from any particular wit or inspiration of vision."
		The Globe and Mail	"Gripping to watch but ultimately misses the target."
