Imagine the ultimate movie boxing match: Rocky vs. The Raging Bull. Now think of them as thirty years past their prime. In a nutshell, that’s Warner Brothers’ Grudge Match – the Expendables of sports movies.

Bullet to the Head – A Triumph of Style Over Content!
After the fun The Last Stand flopped big time, we get another 80s-style action flick with a sixty-something lead that is darker, nastier and possibly more stylish – but not quite as much fun.
