A really hard watch in a lot of ways, he obviously did a lot of research into the effects of brain trauma and rehabilitation and its extremely believable. Loads of UK boxing faces in there too (see how many you can spot!) and BN branding everywhere and an appearance from Buncey- who manages to get his name into the opening credits somehow!

Fantastic piece of work, one of the best boxing movies ever, do go and see if you get the chance.

Not a patch on Cornerhouse is it

The biggest screen was fine but that tiny one in the basement where it felt like you were going to watch a porno was always a bit naff. It’s only five minutes walk away too.

What a weird direction for the thread to take!

The little screens were awful, reminded me of the VIP club nearby!

It was quite poignant given the recent events in boxing, and was hard to not imagine of Blackwell and others while watching. It is not a boxing film as you would imagine (blood and gore), but if you are an enthusiast in the industry you will find the story of a fighter interesting/challenging.

On a funnier note, few of the ingle lads are in some scenes (Paddy trained at the gym for the film), Kell Brook is massive in it! I wonder how long ago it was filmed.

Well worth a watch

Is the main character actually a journeyman? It would be interesting to see a film about that side of the boxing business.

Weirdyman wrote: ↑16 Apr 2018, 06:42 Yeah i've had a look at a couple of Picturehouses and Everyman cinemas.

Live in Essex but work in Bucks sometimes, so can do anywhere not far off the M25.
