David Blair directs this powerful British Drama, loosely inspired by John Steinbeck's novel 'Of Mice and Men'. Set in Nottingham, the film revolves around the relationship between the thuggish Danny (Stephen Graham) and Joseph (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), a giant of a man with a mental age of seven. When Danny finds himself in debt to a local crime boss, he feels he is left with no choice but to manipulate Joseph into participating in a series of underground cage fights from which Danny can pay his debts.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a gritty narrative that relies on the unsettling dynamic between brute force and childlike innocence. It explores the toxic dependency and manipulation that flourish in a world stripped of mercy, where loyalty becomes a currency.

What lingers after the final bell is a profound sense of tragedy, the haunting cost of exploitation and the fragile bonds shattered in the pursuit of survival. — MovieFinder Editorial
