True fact Joe Pasquale was going to play the fighter in this film, but he had to pull out due to a accident when he was sent to A&E after fighting a donkey . The donkey was three times over the alcohol limit . - @Wednesday, August 22, 2018 3:35 AM

Such powerful acting in this movie, it's not a Rocky or some cheesy 'the fighter' kinda Hollywood shit, it's serious and emotional and as real as it gets, Johnny Harris almost had me in tears a few times, Oscar worthy acting all the way, superb - @Monday, July 3, 2017 3:39 AM

Before I watch this movie let me guess he's the underdog, trains hard then wins against the villain? I better not be right! - @Tuesday, June 13, 2017 12:22 PM

Imagine if you can that Mike Leigh or Ken Loach decided to do a boxing film then Jawbone wouldn't be too far away from they would come up with and that is by no means a criticism in fact I really liked this. This is the story of a former youth boxing champion Jimmy McCabe who, after hitting rock bottom, returns to his childhood boxing club and his old team, gym owner Bill and corner man Eddie but to make ends meet he agree to take an unlicensed fight against someone much bigger and younger than himself. This film is not so much about boxing but about the struggle against alcoholism. Johnny Harris is brilliant and the troubled fighter and genuinely looks like he can box. There isn't a bad performance in this film. Ray Winstone and Ian McShane do what they do best and Michael Smiley is great also. If I has to pick a hole in this film and believe me it's hard . its that the person they got to be Jimmy's opponent didn't look like he knew how to box despite being ripped. Overall though a very good film. 8 out of 10 - @Monday, June 12, 2017 10:44 AM

everyone should watch this. It is one of the best films i have seen in years. It's a film about addiction and isolation and for people to dismiss it just as a boxing film would be a shame. - @Thursday, May 11, 2017 3:30 PM

My good pal Tom Lucy, was the stunt coordinator on this film. He helped and advised on all the fight scenes. Great job Tom. - @Monday, May 1, 2017 2:55 PM
