Alicia I love this movie so much

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Leofwine_draca GRUDGE MATCH feels a little like the boxing version of THE EXPENDABLES at times. It fears a world-weary Sly Stallone (a typical type of character for him, these days) playing a former boxing champion who comes out of retirement for one last match with his old rival, played by Robert De Niro. Yep, it's a simple film built around the premise 'Rocky vs. Raging Bull', with no more depth to it than that.Well, there is depth, but it's TV movie-style sentiment and family affairs-type material which I tend to avoid like the plague. It's a pity, as both Kim Basinger and Jon Bernthal have given great performances elsewhere but are wasted in minor roles like this. Stallone remains as likable as ever but De Niro plays a largely unsympathetic role, which is mainly down to the script. As a comedy, this isn't very funny at all, as it's way too mean-spirited and ugly with constant jokes aimed at physical appearance and the like. The only good thing about it is the brutal final fight, which is almost worth the wait.

Imperial_ban Well,you simply can't miss a movie when there is Stallone & De Niro in it.Stallone looked little inflexible at times but still was control of almost every scene he was into.And De Niro? well I am nobody to judge his acting skills but I would say he was marvelous with his dialogue delivery & comic timing.You simply can't focus on anything else when this guy speaks right?? Anyways Kevin Hart was usual with his perfect timing & his facial expressions were spot on.Kim Basinger??Oh! God she still look so stunning.I was a big fan of her beauty since LA Confidential.Supporting casts were very correctly selected.Altogether it was an interesting comedy with some emotions in it.I recommend this movie to every single person who loves watching these legends.Even if you are not a fan of them I highly doubt you would regret.

juneebuggy I was hesitant to watch this and (I'm sure like most others) went in with very low expectations but Grudge Match surprised me with constant laughs, a story with heart and was ultimately way better than I thought it was going to be.Stallone and DeNiro do a great job as a pair of aging boxing rivals coaxed out of retirement to fight one final bout 30 years after their last match. I actually enjoyed DeNiro here which I haven't been able to say about him for ages what with his crappy comedy choices of late and Stallone is excellent even if his character is just another less mumbling version of Rocky, hard to differentiate the two there.What really held this together was Kevin Hart and Alan Arkin, those two are absolutely fantastic. Jon Bernthal and his son balance the mix out nicely and I even enjoyed the Kim Basinger rekindled romance arc.Surprisingly the part I liked the least was the actual fight which just kept reminding me of Rocky Balboa. There are also some very weird waxy CGI flashbacks showing the boxers in their prime, back in the eighties. 3/2/16

thwarrior-66065 GRUDGE MATCHRetired legends of the ring; Billy 'The Kid' McDonnen (De Niro) and Henry 'Razor' Sharp (Stallone) are about to be given a second chance. In their prime they were fierce rivals at the top of their game who despised each other, and for good reason.Just before the biggest match of their careers, Razor bitterly turns his back on the world of boxing as Billy sleeps with the love of Razor's life, Sally (Kim Basinger) who becomes pregnant.Three decades later, Dante Slate (an ambitious fight promoter) approaches them with a lucrative offer to finish what they almost started. However, Razor refuses due to his intense hatred of the Kid and continues slogging away in his laborious job.Kind hearted Razor, who pays retirement home bills for Louis (Arkin) his old trainer, suddenly finds himself unemployed. Out of desperation, Razor accepts the fight. He moves Louis into his own home to take care of him, save money and hopefully allow Louis to get him match fit one last time.Meanwhile, Billy meets BJ (Jon Bernthal), the child he had with Sally but never knew. BJ gives his estranged Father a few boxing tips and Billy asks BJ to be his trainer, while Razor, unable to avoid Sally, is forced to confront his feelings of betrayal.Billy and BJ begin to lay down the foundations of a father/son relationship while Sally battles the demons which profoundly altered her life, taking away her hopes and dreams of a loving future with Razor.It's only when old wounds are opened that they collectively can begin to heal, but will both the emotional and physical grudges they are about to wage war on be too much for them to handle?Written by 13thwarrior67@gmail.com.
