Grudge Match

Grudge Match stars Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Nero as two aging boxers, who beat each other once, but the decider got cancelled after Razor (Stallone) quit boxing. 30 years later and the "Grudge Match" is finally arranged.

I must admit that I didn't think this film would be any good, the concept of Rocky vs Raging Bull might be interesting, bit given the age of the actors involved this falls firmly in the "Geriaction" category.

I was, however, pleasantly surprised, there is a lot more in the film than just the boxing match, however a lot of the jokes fall flat, and the best laughs in the film come from an 8 year old boy, who has far better comedy timing than the adult actors.

It's a little bit clunky, and unlikely to find a large audience, but despite being on the surface a film about two OAP's in a boxing match, it has more depth than that, and in the end is halfway decent 7/10
