Chuck Wepner, the "Bayonne Bleeder," he was the pride of Bayonne, New Jersey, a man who went fifteen rounds in the ring with Muhammad Ali, and the real life inspiration for Rocky Balboa. But before all that, Chuck Wepner was a liquor salesman and father with a modest prizefighting career whose life changed overnight when, in 1975, he was chosen to take on The Greatest in a highly publicized title match. It's the beginning of a wild ride through the exhilarating highs and humbling lows of sudden fame-but what happens when your fifteen minutes in the spotlight are up?
Leave your thoughts about Chuck.
| The Public (Buffalo)M. FaustWhat makes the film work at all is Schreiber, one of those actors who is watchable doing just about anything, even if he does it in an ugly pornstache and an uglier plaid overcoat. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileySchreiber [is] flat out excellent at not only conveying Wepner's neighborhood-guy charm, but at delivering his wry narration, which borders on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang levels of self-awareness. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderThey call it prize fighting, but "Chuck," a boxed-in boxing fable, ain't much of a prize. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonSchreiber is terrific, and the film employs a gritty and evocative throwback visual style. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdThe movie is more interested in him as a lovable loser, a working-class palooka who stumbled briefly into the spotlight, and Schreiber — bulked up, mustachioed, having a grand time — leans enjoyably into his hangdog mediocrity. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordSchreiber gives Wepner an appealing blue collar quality, a bear of a man with an open, easy going nature. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperLiev Schreiber is outstanding as the hulking, rough-edged, amiable and charismatic Wepner. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinYet you root for this movie the same way you might have rooted for Wepner. It's not a contender by any stretch of the imagination, but it has a certain tough, hard-earned nobility. |
| Akron Beacon JournalClint O'ConnorChuck is an interesting character study, and thanks to Schreiber's self-deprecating narration and blunt confessionals, we feel for Wepner and his struggles. |
| VODzilla.coMatthew TurnerIf there's any justice, Schreiber will find himself in next year's Best Actor race for his performance here, as he completely inhabits the role. |
