Shortly after winning the junior middleweight world title, Vinny Pazienza (Miles Teller) is involved in a near-fatal car accident which leaves him with multiple injuries including a broken neck. Told he will never walk or fight again, Vinny is fitted with a metal neck brace which he must wear for several months. However, defying doctor's orders, he continues to follow his training regime and, with the help of trainer Kevin Rooney (Aaron Eckhart), Vinny remains determined to prove his doubters wrong and vows to make a triumphant return to the ring to reclaim the world title he relinquished one year earlier.

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.
