Mining his own insecurity to mirror Freddy's, Stallone dominates these scenes with his poignant passivity. The sweet sadness in his eyes reveals something rare in modern films: how much pain and insult a decent man with zero self-esteem can endure.

"It seemed like a silly joke," says an American official, "only it was true." Arafat was outraged and, according to his colleagues, saw the offer as an insult. Whether or not Netanyahu calculated it to be one, it was a perfect demonstration of the way things are going in the so-called Middle East peace process...
