An intense and brutal film, showcasing a spellbinding performance by Londoner Joe Cole.

It's the true-story tribulations of a young, British, heroin addicted boxer (Billy Moore, based on his memoir) locked inside a Thai prison. It's like Rocky meets Midnight Express, but not in the Rocky Express way, more in the Midnight Rocky sense.

Basically, we watch a man get beat up on one way or another for over two hours, and while it's a grueling watch, the romance involving a prison transsexual ('ladyboy') was handled with decorum and respect.

There is nothing new to see here, but what you get is hard hitting and packs a punch. When all is said and done, it's not the sort of film you 'like', it's the sort of film you experience.
