Standout Aspects

Acting

Nonso Anozie's terrifying, vulnerable transformation — utterly commanding.

Direction

Jon S. Baird finds poetry in brutality without glorifying it.

Writing

Cass Pennant himself co-wrote — authenticity bleeds through every frame.

Best for:Solo: When you want something heavy that'll sit with you for days.·Date Night: If your date can handle grim British biopics, congrats, they're a keeper.
Heads up:Violence: Frequent, brutal football hooligan brawls — unflinching and bloody.·Triggers: Racist abuse and racial identity trauma throughout.
