Rating: 6/10 (1 August 2016)

Grudge match started out strong with low ball guy humor. De Niro's character is a funny big mouth. Lines like "I'm healthy I take all my shots! Jack Daniel etc" are hilarious. Again,Stallone plays the quiet character with a past. Stallone is pushed into the fight, after making a video game and De Niro shows up early. The confrontation gets the boxing event rolling. The second half of the film is too much. Like an old joke or a big mouth who is funny at first, Grudge match get old very fast. Robert De Niro's character Billy 'The Kid' McDonnen is an major idiot, jerk etc that you cannot help but hate. You just know McDonnen is going to screw up. For anyone who has been disappointed or annoyed in life will just hate McDonnen. The viewer does not find McDonnen funny or even tragic likable, but sad in a pathetic way. The 2nd half of Grudge Match just kills the movie! First half, I give an eight and the second half I give a two. Grudge Match is a six stars out of ten.
