Bang Bang

Great movie. Was skeptical, I know Tim Blake Nelson can act but didn't see him as a good fit for a boxing movie. The movie slowly catches your attention and then holds it. Nina Ariana is excellent as she is in everything. Same with Kevin Corrigan. Probably the best role I've seen Nelson in. Authentic. Well worth a watch.

Dark, depressing with little redemption. Perhaps an all too honest look at the embers of a once might fire.

On the cast alone, the movie had my attention. Mr Nelson delivers as a burnt out old man...desperately hanging on to the past...including his own delusions.

Depressing.

A final whimpering message putting the blame squarely on Dad.

Pathetic. No Growth. No development just decay.

Of course it is set in the perfect American City...Detroit.

I guess I wanted some hope or some resolution or growth.

While the movie was maybe a 6.5 or 7, Tim Blake Nelson's performance notched it up to a 10 for me. He was 100% believable, raw and real, almost like he wasn't acting at all. His character was addictive, and you couldn't help but cheer him on. All of the cast was excellent as well, not one weak link. The script was real, but a heavy drama. I'm sure many people live like this and the world has more of these stories, than "cinderella" stories. Gritty, dark, but satisfying. Love the hard close ending. Fits the story perfectly. I think that this could have actually been built into a mini series, but then again, that may have destroyed the intense one and done film. I think he should have had an oscar for this role.

I stumbled upon the 2024 movie "Bang Bang" by sheer chance here in 2025. And since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, nor actually ever heard about, I gave the movie a fair chance. I figured that since it had Tim Blake Nelson in a leading role, then I couldn't be all bad.

Writer Will Janowitz put together a fair enough script and storyline. It was a gritty one, which made it all the more enjoyable actually.

The acting performances in the movie were good, and especially Timy Blake Nelson was so well-cast for the role. There was only one other familiar face on the cast list for me, and that was Kevin Corrigan.

While I found "Bang Bang" to be a watchable movie, and an entertaining one at that, then it is hardly a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.

My rating of director Vincent Grashaw's 2024 movie "Bang Bang" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Boxing stories are told again and again and sometimes you come across a gym of a story ha that's speech to text for you gem is what I was going for and they certainly produced one here the acting is superb and you can feel it better than any boxing movie I ever saw and I can fight fo sho the pain is real this movie will make you feel, it's violent though, fighting always is, it's not the best of us humanity you know, great movie despite the sadness of it all.
