Ed R This was a great, true inspirational story that lost all of it's allure in the story telling. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/25 Full Review Ben S Teller was evidently dedicated and I can't help but applaud him for his effort and success in bringing this figure to the big screen. If nothing else, the triumphant of the human spirit is ever powerful in this one, but if you're in search of a boxing movie, there are better ones out there. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/05/25 Full Review A I This was THE best ever boxing movie I have ever seen, ever! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review SkyRo P Bleed for This is a movie about boxing, focusing on Miles Teller’s character, Vinny Pazienza, and his remarkable comeback story. After suffering a severe injury, Vinny finds himself battling against all odds — physically, mentally, and emotionally — to return to the sport and chase the championship glory he once had. The film moves at a slow pace, with much more emphasis on character development and the struggles Vinny faced on his road back, instead of delivering a lot of action in the ring. The writing reflects this slower approach, which, at times, made the story feel a bit sluggish. When the action scenes do come, they’re decent enough and provide a rush, but they’re few and far between. The focus here is more on the journey — the recovery, the doubts, and the perseverance — rather than pure, high-energy boxing match-ups. Overall, I did enjoy Bleed for This and appreciate it for what it is. It’s probably not a film I’d revisit frequently, simply because I was expecting more action from a boxing movie. I’d still recommend it, but I’d let people know going in that it’s more about the human story than the in-ring action. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review Madam D Lots of sports are dangerous, but boxing is worst of all. The idea that someone would risk their life to make money & be a champ is just stupid, in my book. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review cassandra c Bleed for This doesn’t just hit hard—it lands. This film tells the wild, almost-unbelievable true story of Vinny Pazienza, a certified boxing legend who redefined what it means to be unbreakable. The movie chronicles how Vinny Paz wasn’t just fighting opponents in the ring—he was fighting doctors, doubt, and a severely broken neck. With a halo screwed into his skull, he managed to step back into the ring. That’s not just resilience—that’s the greatest comeback in boxing history. Miles Teller taps all the way in with his performance, bringing Paz’s voice, swagger, toughness, and vulnerability to the screen. Aaron Eckhart is unrecognizable—in the best way—as trainer Kevin Rooney, and the chemistry between them is electric. Director Ben Younger keeps the energy tight, gritty, and real. Director Ben Younger does a brilliant job bringing Paz’s world to life, with intense fight scenes, strong character work, and a story that pulls you in from start to finish. Vinny Pazienza’s story is compelling beyond words—a testament to the power of will and the refusal to give up. Bleed for This is a must-watch for boxing fans and anyone who loves a true underdog story that hits hard and stays with you.
