    Comments Thread For: Journeyman is Latest Boxing Film Set To Debut - Full Review

    Part of the challenge enjoying boxing movies as a hardcore' fan is that filmmakers are historically prone to getting small but important details wrong. A venue which is unfeasibly glossy, title belts which almost but don't quite look like the real thing and gyms lined with too-fresh fight posters all provide a dead giveaway of a production team which doesn't quite understand the gritty fabric of the sport.

    , this is juxtaposed through what follows with the painful, slow, silent aftermath of serious brain injury suffered by Considine’s character, Matty Burton.
    So like Million Dollar Baby...only more depressing

      I was trying to watch that awhile back but its in f#cking French....w/o subtitles....or the version I tried to watch didn't have subtitles. Sounds like its an interesting story doe so I'm looking forward to finding a version w/subtitles.

        I was looking forward to this. Paddy Considine is the man. Trailer makes it look less a boxing movie and more another struggle with disability movie. Might be good anyway but I don't how much of a boxing film it's going to be.

          Paddy is cool though it should be worth a watch

            They reviewed this on Film2018 lastnight. They said its ok, not great. Boxing is the background character in this movie, so not a Creed or Southpaw kind of film.

            Considine is a good actor though, so it's probably worth a watch.

                Is it better than Boyka II? That was a pretty good boxing movie I watched the other night. Hardcore as bros
