 World middleweight boxing champion Matty Burton (Paddy Considine) is defending his title against cocky, trash-talking challenger Andre ‘The Future’ Bryte (Anthony Welsh). But when Matty suffers a traumatic head injury, he has a new fight on his hands. Despite a brilliant performance from Jodie Whittaker this is Considine’s showcase. He is astonishing as a broken man attempting to put himself back together, combining precise nuances and physical tics with a devastating well of complex, confused emotions. A boxing drama with a difference. (92 mins) Cert 15 Directed by Paddy Considine |
