    Storyline

    Edit
    Matty Burton is the middleweight boxing champion of the world. Now, coming towards the end of his career, he knows that he must make his money and get out of the game. His aim is to secure a home with his wife Emma, and a future for their baby daughter Mia. After a titanic battle against Andre 'The Future' Bryte, Matty returns home to Emma, but moments later collapses on the living room floor from a delayed reaction to a devastating punch. When Matty awakes from the coma, the real fight begins. Suffering from memory loss and with his personality altered, Matty must begin to piece his life back together as his world disintegrates. —Teaser-Trailer.com

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Paddy Considine and some of the crew visited a centre run by UK brain injury charity Headway in 2016 while preparing for and researching the role. Paddy spent time talking to their clients about their lives, both pre and post brain injury in order to grasp how their brain injuries had affected them. In the film, Matty displays some mannerisms that Paddy observed during the visit. They also made a donation of £500 to the charity.

    doesn't land the blow
    Back-to-front boxing narrative, as we start with the big (defining) fight.

    The aftermath is traumatic, well-told and horrifying at times. It's just half-way through you realise you're not gonna get much more. The ending is emotional, although well sign-posted.
