Bang Bang Synopsis
Retired boxer Bernard "Bang Bang" Rozyski (Tim Blake Nelson) is inspired to try his hand at training once he reconnects with his estranged grandson. While their training brings the fighter out of the hole he's been living in, everyone questions his motivations, including an ex-girlfriend from decades ago who was privy to Bang Bang's meteoric rise in the sport in the 80s. Is he merely passing down inherited rage, or is there true altruism behind his tutelage?
I hate to say this, because I actually think this looks like it has some real potential, but I do not buy Tim Blake Nelson as a boxer. He doesn't have the build for it at all, and it is weirdly off-putting to see him like this. It has been a while since we had a really good boxing movie, and I really want this to work. Few sports are able to translate the drama and experience of watching them like boxing is, and that includes wherever the story takes us out of the ring as well. Will this become a classic of the genre? that remains to be seen, but that trailer has me pretty intrigued and though I may have my doubts about Nelson, the film around him looks like a winner.
This will release in theaters on September 12.
