Bleed For This


Bleed for This is the incredible true story of one of the most inspiring and unlikely comebacks in sports history. Miles Teller ("Whiplash, "Divergent") stars as Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil” Pazienza, a local Providence boxer who shot to stardom after winning two world title fights. After a near-fatal car accident leaves Vinny with a broken neck, he is told he may never walk again. Against all odds and doctor’s orders, renowned trainer Kevin Rooney (Aaron Eckhart) agrees to help Vinny return to the ring just a year after the accident for what could be the last fight of his life.

This movie was a decent watch with some decent performances.  But to call it like it is - the trailer pretty much told you the whole movie.  I can't think of a single part of this movie that I hadn't basically seen already.  That combined with a lot of the action coming across as overacting this movie was pretty much doomed to being decent at best.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone rushing to see this one.  Again - it's not bad but it's not that good either.  It's a 2 1/2 star movie that you can definitely wait to see.
