Arid S Dec 6 Needed more dialog, why was he a would be prospect from years before or did I miss this part? I feel it ended flat to the point of where the movie seemed somewhat pointless, however the actors would good and enjoyed it through the most part. See more Gerry G Oct 18 Very personal, very gritty, 90 minutes flies past. The final scene was perfectly captured, so very well acted. Bravo Johnny Harris See more Isla S 09/02/2022 This is a raw, gritty sports drama. Its not unlike Rocky I suppose, in as much as its the 'typical guy feeling down and out goes for one last shot of glory' type film. The performances are certainly decent and it felt suitably authentic. Most of the film is quite darkly lit, which makes sense given the settings and the tone of the film. Its relatively engrossing and I would recommend it, yes. See more 08/03/2020 Whilst there are of course several cast members that build up this story, the film does sit firmly on the shoulders of Johnny Harris, who has never let down any camera he performs in front of and gives here one of his best performances to date as Jimmy. Even in scenes where he has no dialogue, he lights up the screen and even a glance,a look, or a grimace or a smile does exactly what it needs to and keeps the gripping storyline going along at a perfect pace.If you are a fan of boxing films then Jawbone is perfect for you, but even if you arent a fan of boxing films then Jawbone is also the perfect film for you. A brilliant human drama that just so happens to have some of the best boxing choreography that the screen has seen (and yes I have seen Raging Bull and all the Rocky films) Director Thomas Napper has done a wonderful job with this film and I cant wait to see what he does for his follow up project and as for writer Johnny Harris. This man seems to have no end to his talents. Great work! See more 04/01/2018 I would have gave Jawbone 3 out of 4 but the camera work on the end boxing scene made me nuisance. See more 02/19/2018 Fantastic acting, always love Winstone. Harris delivers spectacularly. Trainer is awesome. Enjoyed the way the movie was filmed. Movie is very realistic and shows the grittiness of a down and out boxer trying to survive. Only thing keeping it from being a better than good movie is the plot, as it could have been developed so much better; but this is often associated with lower budget films unfortunately.
