Better Than Average Rocky or Recent DiNero

Rating: 6/10 (28 June 2019)

I like both of these actors; they seldom, if ever, appear in films together. DiNero as an Irishman is a bit of stretch as a character, but he is a consummate actor, so he can get away with it. Stallone does his Rocky, and DiNero does his LaMotta; nobody watching will remember the name of either's character from this film three days from when they see it. I will just remember Rocky and Lamotta, or Stallone and DiNero. The film was better than I had hoped. It could have been terrible six different ways, but the writer and director kept the decent storyline in tact. Stallone was still Rocky with another name, and DiNero was still Lamotta with another name. In a real fight, I believe Stallone would rock DiNero in just a few minutes.
