Jawbone
A former youth boxing champion, Jimmy McCabe (Johnny Harris), is a man in search of hope but looking in all the wrong places. When he hits rock bottom he turns to his childhood boxing club and the only family he has left: gym owner Bill corner man Eddie and promoter Joe. Back in training, years after anyone thought he was a contender, he risks his life, as he tries to stand tall and regain his place in the world.
Critic Reviews:
- " This is the small-time, replete with unforgiving glare and hostile punters. " – Tara Brady
- " The familiar boxing movie trajectory doesn't lessen the forceful punch of this underdog story. " – Wendy Ide
- " As a writing debut for Harris and a feature-directing debut for Napper, this is extremely promising. As a role for Harris, it's a sign that a great British actor may have just hit his moment. " – Olly Richards
