USA, 1991. Profi-Boxer Vinny Pazienza hat gerade mit dem Weltmeistertitel im Halbmittelgewicht den Höhepunkt seiner Karriere erreicht. Nach einem verlorenen Kampf wird er in einen schweren Autounfall verwickelt und bricht sich das Genick. Die kleinste, falsche Bewegung könnte eine Querschnittlähmung zur Folge haben. Trotz der ärztlichen Warnungen beginnt Vinny, dank spezieller Halskrause heimlich zu trainieren. Unterstützt von Coach Kevin Rooney, bereitet er sich auf ein legendäres Comeback vor. (ORF)

Englisch 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.

Englisch 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. ()
