Retired pugilist Bernard "Bang Bang" Rozyski (Tim Blake Nelson) is inspired to try his hand at training once he reconnects with his estranged grandson. While their training brings Bang Bang out of the hole he's been living in, everyone questions his motivations, including an ex-girlfriend from decades ago, who was privy to Bang Bang's meteoric rise in the sport in the 80s as well as the rivalry with his former opponent, her cousin and Detroit's Mayoral candidate Darnell Washington. Is Bang Bang merely passing down inherited rage, or is there true altruism behind his tutelage?

Christian Zilko indieWire The washed-up fighter archetype who spits poetry about the demons he now battles has been done to death. Yet it becomes clear those cliches are the point. Rated: B Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Cinema Daily US Nelson carries the film in an exceptional way that enhances it tremendously. Rated: B+ Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Kristy Strouse Film Inquiry Bang Bang is further proof of Vincent Grashaw’s directorial expertise and confirmation that Tim Blake Nelson’s talent has only grown. Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Jake Tropila In Review Online Like its title character, Bang Bang is rough and ungainly, but taken as a showcase for Nelson’s talents, one could do a whole lot worse. Jun 19, 2024 Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review As beautiful as it is bleak, Bang Bang is a healthy reminder of [Tim Blake] Nelson’s status as one of our finest character actors. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 15, 2024 Full Review Giovanni Lago Next Best Picture “Bang Bang” is as messy as its unlikeable characters. Rated: 4/10 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
