Bleed for This
Boxing isn't that dangerous; it's the only sport you don't need a jockstrap to play.
In fact, the pugilist in this sports-drama wasn't paralyzed anywhere near a ring.
Vinny Paz (Miles Teller) is a junior welterweight who can't make his division so his father (Ciarán Hinds) hires Tyson's old trainer Kevin Rooney (Aaron Eckhart) to assist.
While his father doesn't approve of pushing his son into a new weight class, Vinny's junior middleweight world championship changes all that.
So, too, does the car accident that leaves him with a medical halo screwed into his skull. But even that's isn't enough to keep Vinny from the ring.
The mediocre retelling of the amazing recovery that took the boxing community by surprise in the early nineties, this true story's charm lies in its dedicated performances, not in its timeworn underdog prizefighter narrative.
Anecdotally, the next weight class in boxing after heavyweight is sumo.
