Penned byThe SopranosandBoardwalk EmpirealumWill Janowitz and directed by Vincent Grashaw,Bang Bangcenters on Bernard Rozyski, better known by his titular nickname, a retired pugilist who hopes to reconnect with his estranged grandson while also getting back into training in the sport. As he begins to find new purpose in his life, though, he comes under the doubtful eye of many people, including a decades-ago ex-girlfriend and his former rival, Detroit’s Mayoral candidate Darnell Washington. Alongside Nelson, the movie’s ensemble cast includesCowboy Bebop’s Daniella Pineda, Glenn Plummer, Kevin Corrigan and Andrew Liner.
