Grudge Match (2013)
Directed by Peter
Segal this film stars Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone, Kevin Hart,
Alan Arkin and Kim Basinger. Two ageing boxers are convinced to stop
back into the ring after thirty years to settle a long running
grudge.
There are plenty of
decent elements to build on in this film but sadly the script always
seems to be a token effort. It is like the film makers thought they
could live off the legacy of Rocky (1976) and Raging Bull (1980) but
this film is 30 years too late and in needed of a rewrite or two.
Even the boxing match at the end seems tired and lazy like it's
stars.
2/5
