Stallone and De Niro are a couple 60-something retired boxers who split two fights back in the 70s and never had a third. They have a personal feud and it gets reignited when they show up to do motion capture for a boxing video game. That leads to a third fight. There are some decent laughs in the movie but ultimately the movie just never really delivers. They do some CGI and other wizardry to try and make the two guys look younger or whatever and sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. There's a funny bit that refers back to Rocky. I'm sure there's a similar moment for Raging Bull but, since I haven't seen that movie, I can't confirm it. Anyway, this ends up mildly amusing, occasionally funny and ultimately not great but not terrible either. 6/10.
