I gave this film a 10 because it is a perfect piece of cinema. At the end I didn't find myself wanting to improve on any aspect, which I often find myself doing with so many films and TV. as I've seen so many in my lifetime that I suppose I am a hard man to impress. But, impressed I am.
The script is indeed, "TIGHT AND LEAN," as the previous reviewer mentioned.
Compelling from start to finish, this is a fresh story that shows a man fighting his demons in every waking minute. Such is this battle that it manifests as a form of continuous self punishment. But also the anger within, proves to be the fight inside that could save him.
An incredible acting performance by Johnny Harris, who I have had my eye on for some time now, I hope this propels him into more leading roles.
The direction is crisp and doesn't dwell unnecessarily in sentimentalism, but it isn't cold and stark. This is not Rocky, or The Wrestler, it is more. Powerful and engaging.
One of the best British films you will see.
