59 - Journeyman
Eavesdropping at the Movies - Un pódcast de Jose Arroyo and Michael Glass
Categorías:
A boxing film that opens with its climactic fight and develops drama in its aftermath. We find Journeyman disappointingly contradictory - a showcase of performance, writing, and observation, executed with no cinematic nous or flair. Paddy Considine lacks credibility as a world champion boxer, but captures beautifully the impotent rage and misery of such a star physically and mentally diminished. His road to recovery is a clever and interesting twist on the typical boxing film formula of training for a life-changing fight, executed too sappily and casually. A film we like but don't admire. Recorded on 8th April 2018.
