Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

dexton-84908 Maybe it's the truly amazing turn of events that Vinny went through that makes me give this a high score, but I also love an American sports film. This made 'Bleed For This' right up my street.It's not up in the heady heights of Rocky. But it's easily as good a film as Creed for me.Miles Teller is wonderful, and I really did root for him in this. I was completely unaware of Vinny Pazienza, and I'm more than happy with this film telling me his story.A solid 8 out of 10, and well worth a watch if you like a good underdog film.

jtindahouse 'Bleed for This' is about as "by the book" as movies come sadly. It's based on a true story, but in a lot of ways it does a disservice to the real story. First of all, the main character Vinny Pazienza is portrayed in a very unbelievable way. The movie goes out of its way to make him seem like an absolute saint, for no reason other than that we are supposed to root for him. I would've preferred his character actually had some realistic outbursts and we weren't necessarily rooting for him. It would have made the whole experience feel more authentic.The first half hour of the film, the set-up phase, is pretty dull and uninteresting and is going to lose a lot of people right there and then. The middle third of the film is certainly the most interesting. His dealing with the accident and the recovery side of things is far more interesting than the parts that should have been the most exciting at the beginning and end (go figure).'Bleed for This' does nothing to stand out from the crowds of movies being put forward today. The only people I can see getting any enjoyment out of this film are people who have a love for boxing or a particular interest in this story. For everyone else though, give it a miss.

kz917-1 Wow! Miles Teller is phenomenal in this story of a boxer that is in a horrific car accident that breaks his neck and then sures 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.

OneEightNine Media Darn. Just darn! If the boxing matches in this film were filmed a hell of a lot better, this film would have been nominated for picture of the year and etc, etc. The film is shot well but like I said before, the action choreography cheapens the film, and that is a darn shame because this isn't just your average Rocky-knockoff boxing picture. This film is based on a true story. This review will avoid any spoilers because that is how I went into this film and I'm better for it. All I knew about this film was that it is a boxing movie. I didn't even know it was based on a true story, they should have marketed it that way. This is a great film regardless of the action's short comings. After watching the film, I went as far as to look into the life of the boxer this film is based on. It all happened just like the film depicts. They do skip a few minor fights to add dramatic flare but whatever. But yeah, shame how the dramatic tension falls flat whenever he steps into the boxing ring. It is painful but I have to give this film a seven out of ten... maybe a 7.5 out of ten but I'll round up because the whatever and blah.
