Review of Bleed for This (2016) by Neuronhead H — 04 May 2017
Boxing movies usually feature the rags to riches rise of an underdog eg. Rocky Balboa.
Bleed For This is unique from films such as Rocky for two reasons.
1. It is a true story.
2. The main character Vinny Panzienza (played by Whiplash star Miles Teller) is a world champion having suffered a few setbacks, only to suffer a near fatal road accident followed by months wearing a halo neck brace device.
That would normally mean the end of a sportsmans career especially a boxer but no. Panzienza defies the odds to return to the ring triumphantly.
Director Ben Younger has triumphed in bringing this true story to the big screen.
