Howard Winstone became Featherweight Champion of the World at the age of 29 in 1968. What makes Howard's story quite remarkable is that as a young man he lost the tips of three fingers in an industrial accident. This multi award winning film will keep you riveted to your seat.

Critic Reviews

  • Ed Andrews, Little White Lies

    All trousers, no mouth.

  • Phelim O'Neill, Guardian [UK]

    Unfortunately the film doesn't quite get to grips with it on anything other than a superficial level, seemingly too charmed by the polite, respectful lead character to get down and dirty with any bigger issues, so punches are pulled in the drama.

  • Jamie Russell, Radio Times

    The re-creation of the 1960s backdrop on a tight budget sadly never allows the director to unleash the epic sweep this against-the-odds yarn really requires.

  • Jamie Russell, Total Film

    KO -ed by a flabby screenplay and lacking the money to do justice to the '60s setting, director Neil Jones falls back on clever tricks - like using an HD Glove Cam - but fails to punch above his weight.

  • Kim Newman, Empire Magazine

    Stodgy fare that eulogises the man rather than delving deeply into his compelling life.
