*Spoiler/plot- Grudge Match, 2013. Two up and coming fighters in the same weight class hold a vendetta between them over a girl and the boxing title's belt. Many years later, they come back to clear the record.
*Special Stars- Sly Stallone, Robert De Niro, Kim Basinger, Ireland Baldwin, Alan Arkin, Jon Bernthal.
*Theme- Give your best and you don't have to regret the outcome.
*Trivia/location/goofs- Canadian, Most people think this film was a Sylvester Stallone project, but according to Robert De Niro he got the script first and quickly came to the conclusion that Stallone would be the best choice to play his opponent. Stallone himself was actually quite reluctant to do the film at first, as he did not want to parody Rocky (1976) and De Niro had to talk him into it. Stallone himself claimed that he had a harder than usual time training for the role since he was taking a break from action roles and had stopped working out.
*Emotion- This film is a clever plot and has a 'heart'. Both leads play the full depth of emotions for their role. No doubt their film careers gave them plenty of experience. Not sure how much acting was involved here. A good film to see and experience.
*Based on- Lossely based on DiNiro's and Stallone's major fight film career moves and loses.
