16 years ago, director Ben Younger gave us Boiler Room, retroactively known as known as the movie that introduced us to Vin Diesel and for making stock trading look cool long before The Wolf of Wall Street ever did.
Younger’s newly released film, the boxing film Bleed For This, has ever-so-brief influences of Wolf flowing through it. Glimpses of the seemingly idyllic world that is championship boxing are seen throughout the film, as numerous times our subject, the retired boxer Vinny Pazienza (now legally known as Vinny Paz), indulges in the good times of casinos, strip clubs and womanizing.
