Yesterday we received our first official look at Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone in GRUDGE MATCH. I also kind of had a feeling that today we would get a trailer, and in fact we got one.
What’s the verdict? In my opinion, not too bad. There’s obvious mo-cap when the younger versions of the actors are shown. The jokes aren’t of the laugh out loud variety. I like how it begins. Both of the boxing legends accidentally reunite when they are both asked to do some work for a video game. That leads to the guys reigniting their feud and eventually a final match.
I was hoping yesterday that Jon Bernthal would be playing De Niro’s son, and he is. Also, is it just me or is Kim Basinger still looking pretty good?
Synopsis: A pair of aging boxing rivals are coaxed out of retirement to fight one final bout — 50 years after their last match.
GRUDGE MATCH is due in theaters on December 25, 2013.
