That girding, self-conscious admission expresses the narrative trajectory and spiritual ethos of “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” a portrait film that avoids the pit stops in a typical biopic and is driven by its three terrific male leads. Written and directed by Scott Cooper, it draws from Springsteen’s life — routinely shifting between the soberly colored present and black-and-white flashbacks to his childhood — but it doesn’t try to sum him up or polish his crown. It skips the usual introductions, omits milestones and all but ignores some defining relationships. The E Street Band shows up, mostly as backdrop. A few starry types are also name dropped, largely to thicken the atmosphere and help place the story in its moment.
