It was Rocky Balboa who said, "It ain't how hard you hit, it's how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." Of course, Balboa also said, at the end of the first Rocky film, that he didn't want a rematch with Apollo Creed. But they had one. They always do. There's always another fight, just as there's always another boxing film.
Bleed for This is the rugged, uplifting biopic on the lesser-weight boxer Vinny Pazienza, a colourful character from the 1980s and '90s, back when the sport had colourful characters. We meet Pazienza (played competently by Whiplash's Miles Teller) furiously pumping away at a stationary bicycle while swaddled in Saran Wrap. He's trying to sweat off a pound or two in order to make weight for a championship fight. (He should have tried jazz drumming – Teller perspired like crazy in Whiplash.)
