"Good Sports Comedy-Drama!"

Rating: 6/10 (11 December 2014)

Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, Kim Basinger, Kevin Hart, Jon Bernthal and Alan Arkin star in this 2013 sports comedy-drama. This takes place in Pennsylvania focusing on retired boxers, Henry aka "Razor" (Stallone) and Billy aka "The Kid" (De Niro), 2 rivals who haven't fought each other in 30 years. Soon, they meet promoter, Dante (Hart) who talks them into having one last fight with each other since they never got to. They train for the event and deal with their personal lives in the process. Basinger (Batman) plays Sally, Henry's ex-girlfriend, Bernthal (The Walking Dead) plays her son, B.J. who is also Billy's son and Arkin (Edward Scissorhands) plays Henry's trainer & friend, Louis aka "Lightning." LL Cool J, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield also appear. This is a good flick that obviously pokes fun at "Rocky" and "Raging Bull." It has funny and dramatic moments and Stallone & De Niro are great as usual. I recommend this.
