GRUDGE MATCH

30 years later, Razor is a factory worker in serious debt, while Kid is a restauranteur and car dealer who’s never quite gotten over the fight that never was. Enter Dante Slate Jr (Kevin Hart), the son of a famous boxing promotor trying to make a name for himself by reuniting these two enemies to finish what they started.

This is apparently a comedy, but one where you laugh at the movie instead of with it. Watched only through the slits of your fingers as you bury your face in your hands in sheer embarrassment, every second is spent holding on for dear life to the memory of these once great entertainers.

Director Peter Segal (’50 First Dates’, ‘Get Smart’) is a sentimental comedy director and that’s exactly what he’s brought to the table here, but unfortunately he doesn't have the ability to polish this turd of a script.

Rounding out the cast is Kim Basinger, Jon Bernthal, Kevin Hart and Alan Arkin. Hart and Arkin do what they do best in terms of bringing the laughs, but they’re cheap and it’s not nearly enough with the train-wreck that is Stallone and De Niro taking centre stage.
