The Man Inside – review

Writer-director Dan Turner's thriller is a stolid, flashily edited slice of contemporary British life turning on the relationship between a handsome black boxer (Ashley "Bashy" Thomas) and his tough Scottish trainer's drug-addicted daughter (Michelle Ryan). He's trying to renounce his violent, manipulative father, now doing life for murder; she's attempting to escape from a relationship with an abusive junkie. There's another psychopathic gangster hanging around along with a fanatically religious mother and all of them behave predictably. The setting is Newcastle, but Geordie accents and imaginative use of Tyneside locations are largely absent.
