Because of Teller's compelling performance and chemistrywith Eckhart, it's hard not to be roused by the film's triumphant finale, but it never transcends the clichés of its genre. It's an often gripping film, but never very insightful.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 29, 2021

Bleed for This is a surprisingly strong result.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 3, 2021

Succeeds in getting across its predictable 'never-say-die' lesson. It's a shame Younger settles for a made-for-온라인카지노추천-movie sentiment instead of digging deeper to dins a subtext that would really knock the audience out.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 3, 2021

Younger's films goes bebind the scenes as much as it goes in front of it. This is crucial to getting Pazienza's story right.

| Nov 10, 2020

The filmmakers have crafted characters who are flawed, and recognizable, but who come together with an unusual degree of feeling and honesty.

| Aug 13, 2020

On the whole, Bleed For This is a middleweight boxing picture, but it's still a knockout.

| Mar 30, 2020

Even though this is based on a true story, Paz's story isn't as emotionally affecting. Instead, it comes across as an average comeback-kid film.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 14, 2019

Colorful characters, gritty cinematic storytelling and a protagonist with a story already larger than life.

| Oct 31, 2019

While Teller and Eckhart's adrenaline-fueled presence powers the movie forward with a wonderfully engaging energy, there are flaws aplenty here.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 14, 2019

Teller is appreciably committed to the character, but he's only given one note to play, his full-bodied passion wasted on a movie that would rather win on points than go for the knockout.

| Original Score: C | Nov 15, 2018

Younger jacks up the action in the last third, but the air goes out of a fight movie when you can see the next jab coming.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 15, 2018

It was the act itself, the willingness to try because they could no longer do otherwise, that draws us in and makes the story a tale of redemption, regardless of whether they ever got further than that dim basement at night.

| Nov 15, 2018

It's also so effortlessly entertaining that you leave understanding why there are so many boxer biopics, rather than groaning wishing there were less.

| Nov 15, 2018

Bleed for This is still worth seeing, despite its familiar trappings.

| Nov 15, 2018

Bleed For This is twelve rounds of tedium, a boring boxing movie that draws most of its strength from memories of other, better experiences.

| Nov 15, 2018

A solid, but unremarkable drama.

| Nov 15, 2018

As a classic boxing film, it's a carbon copy, but a very satisfying 12-rounder, just losing on points.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 15, 2018

No flatfoot, no knockout, writer-director Ben Younger's "Bleed for This" wins on points.

| Nov 15, 2018

Without Miles Teller, this boxing film is useless. Without this boxing film, Miles Teller is useless.

| Nov 15, 2018

May not be one that goes down in history as a boxing great but with a knockout performance from star Miles Teller and plenty of heart and good humor, it's enough of a contender to warrant ringside seats.

| Original Score: B | Nov 5, 2018
