The result of all out war between Soviet and American conventional weapons is two nations devastated and no resolution to the conflict. World leaders force a final solution - pick one soldier each from the two countries to fight to the death. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)
Reseñas (2)
David A. Prior snapped out of his boyish fantasies about fighting in the jungles of Vietnam to find that the Cold War was over. So he quickly came up with his own fantasy about what the denouement of the conflict between the superpowers was supposed to look like. Though some bloodless revolutions and peaceful tearing down of walls are nice, they have a whiff of pacifism and don’t leave much room for good old-fashioned macho heroism. Thus was born a vision in the mind of the military Peter Pan in which the Cold War powers find themselves at an impasse for the resolution of which each side calls on its best tough guy. Through these men, fist-fights finally transform embarrassing anti-war political threats into a good old fair fight mano-a-mano in a classic boyish battle in the woods. The master’s muscly brother Ted Prior kicks ass for America and the phenomenal Robert Z’Dar goes to bat for the dehumanised Soviet system. Though The Final Sanction is obviously derivative of Rocky IV, it develops that film’s concept into a nonconformist anti-authority climax, so at the same time it can be said that Prior surpassed Battle Royale here.

David A. Prior nos ofrece una visión realista de cómo podría haber transcurrido la guerra entre EE.UU. y la URSS si hubieran operado con el presupuesto de esta película: un vaquero estadounidense indisciplinado se enfrenta a un campesino soviético (el brillante Robert Z'Dar) en el bosque, y el conflicto desemboca en un final inesperado. Bueno, en principio sigue teniendo más sentido que Los juegos del Hambre. [FOD 2019]
