* StarDerailingRole: Subverted for Creator/SylvesterStallone. While the film posted solid box-office takings, got good reviews, and Stallone received positive critical notices for his performance as a demure small-town sheriff, in 2008 the actor stated on ''The Opie and Anthony Show'' that the film "hurt" his career and that he had trouble getting roles for eight years, due to the film's failure to reach the high expectations set for it and the mix of views on whether he was leaving action movies for more character-driven content. Stallone has described this as "the beginning of the end, for about eight years". In a 2019 interview he called Creator/JamesMangold "the best director I ever worked with" but said the film was bad for his career: "I loved the film, but it actually worked in reverse. It was pretty good critically, but the fact that it didn’t do a lot of box office, again it fomented the opinion that I had my moment and was going the way of the dodo bird and the Tasmanian tiger."
