As a boy he was exposed, by his father, to murder and gang culture, With his father now in prison, Clayton struggles to overcome what he was groomed to become, in a city where every day there is a constant threat of violence and death. Clayton channels his aggression into boxing. Controlled, powerful, contained. However, when the violence starts to destroy his own family, Clayton loses control, and the darkness within him is unleashed. And now, to get the revenge against those who have taken his loved ones, he must ask the one man he fears the most for help, his father. With everything around him falling apart and the full shocking fury in him let loose, Clayton must look death in the face and find out who is the man inside.

Critic Reviews
-
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
A combination of flat scripting and dull camerawork leave 'The Man Inside' languishing in TV-movie hell.
-
David Aldridge, Radio Times
It's so mired in overwrought melodrama that, while it packs a few punches, it fails to deliver the knockout.
-
Derek Malcolm, This is London
The Man Inside is well made but pushes us towards a kind of hyper-realism that pays decreasing dividends.
-
Donald Clarke, Irish Times
We would say something about "first-round knockout", but then it's not really a boxing picture. So, we won't.
-
Allan Hunter, Daily Express
Peter Mullan adds gruff authority and class but there is not much else to commend this effort from writer/director/producer Dan Turner.
