30 years ago, Billy ‘The Kid’ McDonnen (De Niro) and Henry ‘Razor’ Sharp (Stallone) were boxing rivals but Razor decided to leave the ring for good the night before they were due to battle it out for the championship, which ultimately put an end to both their careers. With each of them having achieved a win in their previous two matches, the pair now have the opportunity to face each other a third and final time. They each start up a training regime in preparation for the match but at their age, both The Kid and Razor aren't as fit as they once were. Can either of them prove they still have what it takes to win?
Critic Reviews:
- " [The] emotional angle in the film allows Stallone to deliver some surprisingly effective emotional monologues. " – Reagan Gavin Rasquinha
- " Somewhat formulaic, but a lot of fun regardless. " – Dwight Brown
- " I do have to marvel at the way Stallone has always been able to make himself the underdog. This is a massive monster of a man who should by any account be the Goliath to any movie's David, yet he's always able to play vulnerable. " – Fred Topel
