Bleed for This (2016)
They never come back“ – das ungeschriebene Gesetz des Boxsports wurde schon oft widerlegt. Doch kein Comeback war so spektakulär wie das des Italoamerikaners Vinny Pazienza, dessen Erfolgsgeschichte Ben Younger („Couchgeflüster“) jetzt verfilmt hat. Als der damalige WBA-Weltmeister im Halbmittelgewicht im Herbst 1991 bei einem Verkehrsunfall einen Genickbruch erleidet, scheint seine Karriere beendet. Doch der Champion aus Rhode Island will so schnell wie möglich in den Ring zurückkehren – und entscheidet sich gegen eine Operation, die zur Versteifung seiner Halswirbelsäule führen würde. Während die Handlung erwartungsgemäß kaum überrascht, überzeugt „Whiplash“-Star Miles Teller in der Rolle des willensstarken Boxers.
