Bleed for This

The thousand-first boxing story told in the thousand-first way. The boxing dramas are extremely similar, but they always come up with some minor thing that distinguishes it from each other. In this case, it’s the actors. Especially Miles Teller, who entertains me possibly in every movie where he shows up, and Aaron Eckhart, whom I wouldn’t even recognize here at first. His impersonation of a coach, who is an alcoholic, is absolutely amazing and he performs excellently right from the beginning. It was also thanks to these two acting performances that I had no difficulty in watching the film till the end. Even though it was clear what was going to happen and where the whole story was going.

Boxing movies are simply good, and Bleed for This starring Miles Teller proves it. A boxer who had an accident but made a successful comeback despite a spinal injury. A powerful story. Miles Teller shows that he is one of the most talented and dedicated actors of the current young generation. (07/02/2017)

I like boxing movies, this is the kind of movie that will never bore me, but lately the competition has been great and the better ones (Creed, Southpaw) have been a level above. The story itself is quite sensitive and touching, Miles Teller is building a decent career and is one of the more promising young actors, but the fights in the ring themselves aren't very striking or intense, so more of a watchable one-off that I won't remember anytime soon, but for fans of similar films it won't offend. 65% (08/02/2017)
