50 Stallone Movies Ranked From Best To Worst
32) GRUDGE MATCH (2013)
What does Stallone do after a successful comeback? Revert to form of course, and cook up some trash.
The problem with this one is, there’s too much melodrama. Too many relatives with family issues most of which are clichéd. The romantic subplot is unnecessary and tiresome and De Niro’s ‘found father’ story with Jon Bernthal is just serious quicksand stuff, pure soap opera. This isn’t what I had hoped for from this movie. I’d expected a sharp and bitter rivalry peppered with coarse yet effective humor. Stallone is also heavily phoning it in here, he looks tired and uninterested, some of his worst acting ever – and not in a good way.
On the upside, I was completely unaware that Kim Basinger would appear in this movie and man, surely she is the hottest 60 year old woman to ever have lived. The strongest point of the movie is also easily De Niro. He’s the opposite of Stallone and is putting 110% into the movie. Isn’t enough though.
