Warner Bros. Grudge Match is a sports comedy-drama film directed by Peter Segal, produced by Bill Gerber, and starring two legendary Hollywood actors, Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone. The film was released on December 25, 2013, and received mixed reviews from critics.
The movie tells the story of retired boxers Henry "Razor" Sharp (Sylvester Stallone) and Billy "The Kid" McDonnen (Robert De Niro), who had a fierce rivalry in their prime days. Thirty years after their last match, they are persuaded to step back into the ring to settle their differences once and for all. When their intense presence is noticed by Dante Slate Jr., a son of a former boxing promoter, he convinces them to fight again with the promise of a big paycheck.
Despite being older, both boxers begin training for the match. Razor has learned how to repair old boats, while McDonnen owns a used car dealership. Razor is trained by his former trainer, Louis "Lightning" Conlon, while McDonnen is trained by his estranged son, B.J., and his old trainer, Frankie.
As the fight approaches, tensions run high between the two fighters, and secrets from the past begin to emerge. Razor realizes that he has a son from his brief affair with Sally (Kim Basinger), who he abandoned when he was born. Meanwhile, McDonnen has to come to terms with the pain caused by his attempt to sexually assault Sally in the past.
In the highly anticipated match, both fighters prove that they still have the skills that made them formidable in the ring. The film ends with Razor and McDonnen finally burying the hatchet and reconciling.
Overall, Warner Bros. Grudge Match is an entertaining, albeit somewhat predictable movie that offers a good mix of comedy and drama, appealing to both boxing fans and those who enjoy a good story of redemption.
