About Jawbone (2017) — One man's brutal fight for redemption in the ring and beyond

Jawbone (2017) dives into the gritty underbelly of a working-class London, where former boxing prodigy Jimmy McCabe fights not just opponents in the ring, but the demons of his past. Directed by Thomas Napper, this raw action-drama follows Jimmy as he spirals into darkness after losing his way, until an unlikely reunion with his old boxing club offers a flicker of redemption.

Set against the backdrop of a city that doesn't care about fallen heroes, Jawbone (2017) is a punchy, emotionally charged tale of resilience.
