Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The film is based on the true boxing story of World Champion Boxer Vinny Pazienza (Miles Teller). It starts with his defeat in November of 1988 to Roger Mayweather (Peter Quillin). It appeared his career was a wash and after a training music montage he won the second fight of the film, 30 minutes into it with the training help of Aaron Eckhart, going whiplash all over Gilbert Dele. The fight was a set up and he was expected to lose. Paz gets into an auto accident and the bulk of the film is about his remarkable comeback.The film skips a few fights in between. Paz didn't go from training to title bout as the film portrays, forgivable for time considerations. I thought the acting was excellent, decent New England accents. At the end of the film you get to see the real characters on which the production was based and they looked were remarkably similar. Good casting. Good film for the genre. Good sound track.Guide: F-word. Nudity ( Noelle Trudeau, Christine Evangelista)

Wow! Miles Teller is phenomenal in this story of a boxer that is in a horrific car accident that breaks his neck and then surpasses all odds to mount a comeback and fight in the ring once more. It is baffling that this is a true story and I had not heard hide nor hare of before seeing this movie. Aaron Eckhart and Katey Sagal are practically unrecognizable. All of the actors throw themselves into their roles with abandon. Fantastic truly fantastic. Engaging and enjoyable watching this film.

In this well-filmed boxing biography of Vinny Pazienza ("Vinny Paz"), things may not be as simple as they seem. At least that is the perspective of a never-say-die boxer who never became disillusioned with a violent, mendacious sport.Miles Teller is outstanding in the role of Vinny Paz, and he is supported by an excellent cast, especially Aaron Eckhart as trainer Kevin Rooney. But it is Teller's standout performance that is memorable in depicting the fighter who simply won't quit.The film works closely to the life story of Vinny Paz, with the centerpiece a lengthy stretch depicting the recovery of the boxer from a broken neck suffered in a head-on auto collision. Somehow, he found the resiliency to make a storied comeback in a bout with Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran.The film does not take a stand on whether Vinny Paz should have even been permitted to enter the ring. The greed of the handlers was downplayed. And somehow, he was authorized to risk his life in the ring. In the world of professional boxing, it does indeed appear that things are not as simply as they appear.

Here's The Lowedown on "Bleed for This" (R - 2016 - US)...I never drank so much orange juice in my life!!Genre: Drama/Sport My Score: 7.5Cast=7 Acting=8 Plot=7 Ending=7 Story=6 History=9 Script=6 Filming=8 Sport=7 Triumph=10The inspirational story of World Champion Boxer Vinny Pazienza who, after a near fatal car crash which left him not knowing if he'd ever walk again, made one of sport's most incredible comebacks. "I know exactly how to give up. You know what scares me Kev? Is that is easy." The greatest recovery in boxing history is the story of Vinnie Paz. I remember Vinnie's story...and Miles Teller did a bangup job in the role. I wouldn't call this as good as "Rocky","Southpaw", or even "Creed", but this is a solid boxing movie. Get your orange juice ready before you put this in your player!!
