Our Score

Bleed For This is based on the true story of Vinny Pazienza, as played by Miles Teller. Having had difficulty making his weight for his Lightweight bouts, world champion boxer Vinny ends up in hospital with severe dehydration, and decides to move up a weight. However, shortly after becoming only the second person to become the world Junior Middleweight champ after being a Lightweight champion, he’s involved in a serious car accident which breaks his neck.

The doctors don’t know whether he will ever walk again, but Vinny insists they fit him with a large metal halo in the hope that not only will he regain full function, but his neck will recover enough that he will be able to fight. Although those around him feel he should give up boxing, he is determined to get back in the ring. With a single-minded drive he strives to get back to full fitness, and to take a shot at another world championship belt. [Read more…]

War Dogs (Blu-ray)

By

Starring: Miles Teller, Jonah Hill, Ana De Armas, Bradley Cooper, Kevin Pollak
Directed By: Todd Phillips
Running Time: 116 mins
BBFC Certificate: 15
UK Release Date: December 26th 2016 (UK)

Our Score

Life isn’t going as well as young David Packouz (Miles Teller) hoped. He’s stuck offering massages to middle-aged businessmen and wishing for something better. Then his old, rather wild, friend Efraim (Jonah Hill) returns to Miami from LA and offers David an opportunity.

Efraim is using a new government initiative to hopefully get rich. After a few scandals, President George W. Bush has opened up all government contracts to bids from private companies of any size, and that includes defence contracts. Efraim wants David to help him get the smaller arms contracts that the big companies are ignoring. That usually involved helping outfit the Iraqi or Afghani armies rather than the US military itself.

War Dogs (Cinema Review)

By

war-dogs-slideStarring: Jonah Hill, Miles Teller
Directed By: Todd Phillips
Running Time: 114 Minutes
UK Release Date: 26th August 2016
BBFC Certificate: 15

Our Score

Don’t let the marketing slogan ‘from the director of the Hangover trilogy’ put you off this film. Although it is very funny throughout, it’s a different breed altogether as director / co-writer Todd Phillips has created a tight, engrossing and entertaining film that is more in the vein of a gangster movie or The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).

War Dogs tells the story of David Packouz (Miles Teller), a 22-year-old drop out who massages elderly rich people to pay the rent. He gets reacquainted with his old childhood friend Efraim Diveroli (Jonah Hill) who makes his money supplying weapons for US government contracts, via an online marketplace set up by the Pentagon. Miles is taken under his wing and we see the rise of their business empire. They win a $300 million contract to arm US allies in Afghanistan in 2007, but face a few troublesome business trips abroad and the inevitable turbulence as their friendship is put to the test.
