it is a shame how poorly distribution this wonderful movie had when it was released,another example of how bad is Hollywood these days....
Starred by two of the greatest legends in movie history, the film is a comedy with some great dramatic moments in which both actors pay tribute to two of their most iconic characters but besides that the movie stands by itself not having to constantly refer to Raging Bull or Rocky ,in fact it has less self-parody that I thought it would have . it is a very deep and interesting story ,in which the boxing is not really the most important thing of the story, a film full of soul,something that lacks in today's cinema.
It was really unexpected how great the final fight between De Niro and Stallone is , edited in a very similar way of the Rocky movies, specially the last one
there is an hilarious post credit scene that I'm sure boxing fans are going to love and MMA fans will enjoy with the brief but funny appearance of Chael Sonnen
