A once promising boxer (Johnny Harris) has become an angry alcoholic struggling to get by. He becomes homeless, but takes up training again when he gets an offer to go back into the ring in an unlicensed boxing match.
Scripted by Harris himself, this tried and tested sporting storyline again proves to work well in this downbeat British sports drama. Harris is more than believable in this personal pet project for him, while Ray Winstone provides another tough guy performance as does usual Ben Wheatley regular Michael Smiley as the coach.
