I just wanted more of some parts and far less of others.

Bleed for This (2016) This is a biographical sports film based on the life of former world champion boxer Vinny Pazienza. The film stars Miles Teller, with Aaron Eckhart, Katey Sagal, and Ted Levine in supporting roles. It received generally positive reviews but was a box office disappointment. It received little to no award recognition. It's not that it's a bad film. The problem is it's a boxing film about a man's comeback and redemption. It means it will be immediately compared to Rocky. This is a disadvantage to these types of films and requires them to step up their game. This film failed in some aspects, but did well in others. I wanted some more background in the beginning and some parts of the film could have been tightened up to allow for this. It seems either the editing or writing was flawed. I just wanted more of some parts and far less of others.
