HEAVYWEIGHT follows wildcard boxing contender, 'Diamond' Derek Douglas (Jordan Bolger), and his support team ahead of a title fight he doubts he can win. The pressure escalates in real-time, as dirty tricks and revelations are revealed. 'Heavyweight' is an intense and visceral experience exploring a side of elite sport rarely seen.

A boxing drama that goes the distance, Heavyweight packs in plenty of heart — with outstanding performances from Bolger, Pinnock, and Ikhile.

4/5

The sheer machismo on display is perhaps a bit exhausting, but it's balanced by a terrific sense of underlying emotion.
