Grudge Match

Grudge Match is a 2013 sports comedy film starring Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone as aging boxers stepping into the ring for one last bout. Stallone and De Niro have both previously been in successful boxing films (Rocky and Raging Bull, respectively) and worked together in Cop Land. The film is directed by Peter Segal.
The comedy Grudge Match is a boxing movie about two aging former pugilists who agree to get back in the ring for one more bout to settle their rivalry. This movie narrates a fictional story of former boxers Henry "Razor" Sharp and Billy "The Kid" McDonnen. Razor and The Kid haven't spoken in 30 years. Each win hotly contested bouts against the other with a third match set to "break the tie", on the eve of the final bout and then Razor abruptly throws in the towel, announcing not only his retirement from the sport, but the cancellation of the fight. This brings both of their boxing careers to a screeching halt - the two haven't spoken since.
Over the years, The Kid has parlayed his name into an endorsement bonanza, owning a car dealership and restaurant supper club, the latter where he performs doing a puppet act. Razor has slipped into relative obscurity, going to work at a local Pittsburgh ironworks foundry. Adding to the mix is boxing promoter Dante Slate, Jr., whose father not only promoted the last two bouts between Razor and The Kid, but who embezzled the gates, leaving Razor and The Kid with empty-pockets. Unfortunately, Slate also left his son penniless.
But Dante Jr. is nothing if not industrious and with the same fast-talking charm of his father, convinces Razor and The Kid to enter the ring just once more. Hit a major payday for all three of them and answer the question once and for all, who's the better fighter.

The Legend of Hercules

The Legend of Hercules is a 2014 American action film directed by Renny Harlin and co-written with Daniel Giat, Giulio Steve and Sean Hood. The film stars Kellan Lutz, Gaia Weiss, Scott Adkins, Roxanne McKee and Liam Garrigan.
The film has an interesting story. In this origin story, Lutz plays the son of a human woman and the Greek god Zeus as he's sold into slavery after his mother is killed by his stepfather. He ultimately discovers his true powers as a demigod along the way to reclaiming his rightful throne.
After the demigod son of Zeus is betrayed by his royal step-father, he must battle his way back from exile and slavery to depose the king.
The new film will see Herc fall in love with the lovely Princess Hebe (Gaia Weiss), only to see her promised to his brother and find himself packed off into battle, and then slavery.
However, it takes more than that to keep a good man down, particularly when said man is sporting the six-pack to end all six-packs.

Thus the movie depicts Hercules as a tormented soul who walks the earth, finding his only solace in bloody battle.
