Twelve years after beating a man to death, former boxer Vian
is struggling to adjust to life back on the outside following his release from jail. With his sister and nephew
Jimmy putting him up for 2 weeks only, he needs to find a job and a way to keep
himself out of trouble.
Scoring a job at a local pizzeria and meeting someone, Vian
attempts to live a normal life spending time with his nephew and keeping up his
fitness, but when Jolene discovers his past and an accident leaves his nephew
in a coma, Vian quickly falls back into his old habits and reaches for the
liquor.
Vian knows he needs to turn his life around, but he must
fight to find the strength to do it.
To be perfectly honest I only watched this movie as Sean
Bean was in it, but I ended up enjoying the movie anyway. There were a few
times when I thought it had lost its way and a few scenes I felt were just
filling time, but overall it was a gritty and enjoyable movie to watch.
The only thing I wasn’t happy about was that Sean portrayed
an American accent rather than using his usual lovable smooth Yorkshire voice.
