Vertigo Releasing has unveiled the official trailer for Bang Bang, a raw and emotionally charged sports drama from director Vincent Grashaw (And Then I Go, Coldwater). Set to release on September 12, 2025, the film marks a return to character-driven storytelling with grit, heart, and a deep dive into the intergenerational scars left by obsession and regret.
Tim Blake Nelson takes center stage as “Bang Bang” Rozyski, a washed-up, eccentric former boxer haunted by his past. Once known for his ferocity in the ring, he now lives in relative isolation—until fate intervenes in the form of his estranged grandson, played by Andrew Liner. Their unlikely reunion sets the stage for a gripping tale of mentorship, legacy, and possible redemption.
But Bang Bang isn’t just another underdog boxing movie. As Nelson’s character pushes his grandson through the same brutal training that once consumed him, the film asks unsettling questions: Is this true mentorship—or a projection of unresolved rage disguised as tough love? The tension between emotional healing and inherited trauma appears to be a driving theme.
The ensemble cast includes Glenn Plummer, Kevin Corrigan, Nina Arianda, Erica Gimpel, and Daniella Pineda, bringing additional layers to a film that aims to explore family dynamics, personal reckoning, and the cost of resilience.
With a screenplay by Will Janowitz, Bang Bang promises a potent mix of emotional intensity and raw physicality, wrapped in the dusty, sweat-stained atmosphere of backroom gyms and fading glory.
Whether it lands as a brutal cautionary tale or an uplifting journey of second chances, Bang Bang is shaping up to be one of this year’s most compelling sports dramas.
