    Seen this a couple of nights back and thought it was very good... well worth watching when it goes on release.

    Johnny Harris who plays the lead also wrote the screenplay, his first, which is quite impressive. Hope he writes some more stuff. It's really a film about addiction more than boxing bit still and all the fight scenes are excellent, some of the best I've seen.
    Was nice to see them avoid shoehorning in a romantic interest for th sake of it or having a Hollywoodesque ending also.

    I caught this on Monday and thought it was really good, strong performances from a great cast coupled with some of the best on-screen boxing in film and a good script. Well worth a look. The score was a pleasant surprise as well, Paul Weller showing off a much broader approach than I might have expected.
