If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

'Bleed for This' is about as "by the book" as movies come sadly. It's based on a true story, but in a lot of ways it does a disservice to the real story. First of all, the main character Vinny Pazienza is portrayed in a very unbelievable way. The movie goes out of its way to make him seem like an absolute saint, for no reason other than that we are supposed to root for him. I would've preferred his character actually had some realistic outbursts and we weren't necessarily rooting for him. It would have made the whole experience feel more authentic.The first half hour of the film, the set-up phase, is pretty dull and uninteresting and is going to lose a lot of people right there and then. The middle third of the film is certainly the most interesting. His dealing with the accident and the recovery side of things is far more interesting than the parts that should have been the most exciting at the beginning and end (go figure).'Bleed for This' does nothing to stand out from the crowds of movies being put forward today. The only people I can see getting any enjoyment out of this film are people who have a love for boxing or a particular interest in this story. For everyone else though, give it a miss.

This film tells the story of an American boxer, who has a bright future ahead of him. Unfortunately, he is almost killed in a traffic accident, squashing his dreams to continue boxing. He refuses to accept his fate, continues to train and make a spectacular comebackOur hero in the film doesn't give up, working hard against all odds and then achieve the seemingly impossible. This is guaranteed to be an inspiring story, but strangely enough I don't feel the passion and emotions that I thought I would feel. The fight scenes don't seem intense enough either. Fortunately, the production is good, and Aaron Eckhart is almost unrecognisable as the boxing coach, which makes him even more convincing.

Wow! Miles Teller is phenomenal in this story of a boxer that is in a horrific car accident that breaks his neck and then surpasses all odds to mount a comeback and fight in the ring once more. It is baffling that this is a true story and I had not heard hide nor hare of before seeing this movie. Aaron Eckhart and Katey Sagal are practically unrecognizable. All of the actors throw themselves into their roles with abandon. Fantastic truly fantastic. Engaging and enjoyable watching this film.

I think Miles is the only one trying to act in this movie and not pantomime his character like other's seem to do. I get the whole New York/New Jersey thing but come on, not every girlfriend is slut and not every Sister is a bully. If this was portrayed in any of the promos, I wouldn't have watched it. I can't stand loud, bossy, bullying women or the men who are around them. If Vinnie was like this in real life, then he truly was and still is an inspiration but his family of women were not entertaining to watch. My guess is that he had to placate them even on film. Other than that, the movie is alright on it's own as his true story of over-coming pain, disappointment and a strong need to feel validated. I don't say vindicated because he was already before his accident, he just couldn't stop until HE was ready.
