I guess the reason why this movie
will be watched again and again world over will be its two superb leads – how can
a movie with Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro in it be missed by a movie
buff? It would definitely be considered a crime for sure and on top of that we
have gorgeous Kim Basinger with fantastic Alan Arkin too in it. Fortunately
both the guys were already loved in their earlier avatars of boxers – Stallone
with Rocky Series and De Niro in one hell of a Raging Bull. It’s actually too
good to see them both share the screen together – I was totally confused as to
love what? The patent smirk on De Niro’s face or Stallone shiny / innocent
eyes. And I am sure Kim can definitely give her current counterparts a run for
their money still – she is simply stunning to say the least in this one. As the
title suggests the movie is about a Grudge match between the leads – the one which
never took place because of Stallone’s early retirement which finishes both
their careers – what they do for a living is something you’ve got to watch and
love it as well. How this one Grudge Match is going to change their life is one
heck of a ride. The movie had so much to offer its audience especially the fans
who love them big time – I was totally hooked to it and am damn sure its Blue
Ray DVD will be worth collecting. The less said about the final bout the better
as that’s something you’ve got to enjoy thoroughly on screen, it made me smile,
laugh, cheer, go emotional all at once and yes it did leave a lump in my throat
in the end. Also the ending credits – worth a mention. I will rate it no less than
a 3/5 with two thumbs up – a great time pass and fundoo movie for the fans. Do
not miss it – although I kept asking and craved for more than what it offers
still it’s way too good a one time watch.
