The inspirational story of World Champion Boxer Vinny Pazienza who, after a near fatal car crash which left him not knowing if he'd ever walk again, made one of sport's most incredible comebacks. That's the story and it's executed in such a great way, showing that it's well thought out and the filmmakers behind it knew how to tell the story visually and in the writing in the perfect way. Ben Younger truly did an incredible job at directing and doing the screenplay for the movie, he made a great movie and a boxing movie that isn't filled with clichés.
The ensemble cast was what gave me the interest to watch it, with names like: Aaron Eckhart, Katey Sagal, Ciarán Hinds and of course Miles Teller that plays Vinny, the main character. It was one of his best and believable performances out of his filmography, behind Thank You for Your Service which was just perfect. But this is another kind of performance as he's portraying a real person and I do believe he did an excellent job at giving Vinny justice.
