Grudge Match

Grudge Match is a 2013 American sports comedy film on DVD and Ultraviolet, starring Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone as aging boxers, directed by Peter Segal.

A pair of aging boxing rivals are coaxed out of retirement to fight one final bout – 30 years after their last match. Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone star in this comedy about two retired boxers returning to the ring for one last fight. 30 years ago, Billy ‘The Kid’ McDonnen (De Niro) and Henry ‘Razor’ Sharp (Stallone) were boxing rivals but Razor decided to leave the ring for good the night before they were due to battle it out for the championship, which ultimately put an end to both their careers.

With each of them having achieved a win in their previous two matches, the pair now have the opportunity to face each other a third and final time. They each start up a training regime in preparation for the match but at their age, both The Kid and Razor aren't as fit as they once were. Can either of them prove they still have what it takes to win?

• " Somewhat formulaic, but a lot of fun regardless. " – Dwight Brown
