One could go on to discuss the committed and rather
spectacular performance that Miles Teller gives
in the role Pazienza, or the cool aesthetic that matches the time period
in small, effective
ways, but despite the casts best efforts and writer / director Ben Younger's endeavor to paint more a portrait of a man determined to overcome the odds rather than going through the motions of another redemptive sports tale, Bleed for This unfortunately
ends up reducing itself to just that.
