Two former retired boxers return to the ring to settle a score started 30 years ago in grudge match

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2014)

Grudge match: this is my first review so here we go.
This was a film that i wasn't expecting much going into, considering how it was not hyped very much. But I enjoyed it. I felt it started slow at first but gradually picked up near the end and became one of my favorite comedies of the year. While the jokes of old age are filled within the film they're not forced onto the audience as they have been in other films i've seen this year (ex: last Vegas). Sylvester Stallone, Robert DeNiro , Kim Basinger ,lan Arkin and Jon Bernthal all do great acting in this especially Jon Bernthal who I'm very glad is getting roles after the walking dead. Kevin hart on the other hand of all these actor's comedy was very stale and annoying as you will at times wish he could disappear. This film had a much deeper thought provoking plot where during the late second to third acts do delve deep into a good story that i wasn't expecting in a comedy and i feel elevated the film even higher than where i would have ranked this movie had this plot not been in the film. Stallone and DeNiro i feel i have to talk about as you truly believe these two downright hate each other and will never get along this kind of chemistry also pushes the film as does the chemistry between Bernthal and DeNiro as well the chemistry between Stallone and Basinger. With all those positives i give grudge match a 7 out of 10.
