Billy Elliot meets Rocky V

Giant charts Prince Naseem Hamed's rise with swagger and bruising honesty. The film moves briskly through triumphs and tumbles, sometimes skimming depth (and accuracy if we're being honest) but its energy mirrors Hamed's ring persona. Make no mistake about it however, this is a Pierce Brosnan film. His portrayal of Brendan Ingle (Naseem's trainer) is excellent. He is warm, stubborn, and quietly wounded. A mentor who understands that discipline and belief can be acts of love.The boxing sequences are punchy rather than balletic, more like highlight reels as opposed to blow by blow accounts. But I feel it's not so much the actual boxing this film leans on, it's the characters and their relationships. Still, Giant lands its emotional blows, with plenty of heart as it lifts the lid on a complicated partnership that shouldn't be forgotten. Stallone has his fingerprints on this in the form of exec-producer, perhaps to make amends for a certain, sub-par installment from a popular boxing franchise...? The 5th one perhaps...?

Emotionally Human

I do believe that Brendan Ingle would have been over the moon that 007's Pierce Brosnan plays him in 'Giant'. To condence two huge characters, who changed the face of British boxing, into a 2 hour film seems impossible (and it probably is)! This is not what this film is about... it's an amalgamation of snapshots from two huge and multifaceted lives combined into a couple hours of thoughts and emotions, primarily from Brendan Ingle's perspective. Pierce Brosnan and Emir El-Masry grow into believable depictions of their characters as the film progresses. It's an honest, warm, and emotional journey, perhaps not rounded out enough, but as an entertaining watch, more than carries it's weight! Pierce Brosnan's portrayal of Brendan Ingle is superb and well worth the watch for that alone. A human film made with good research, care, dignity, and emotion. A story that needs to be seen.

Pierce Brosnan carries this film

Saw it at the premier.An ok film elevated by Pierce Brosnan's performance, which was totally mesmerising, you won't be able to take your eyes off him in any scene he's in.He plays Brendan Ingle, Naseem Hamed's trainer, and is the focus of the film. The portrayal of Naseem himself is very one dimensional - so don't go into the film thinking it's about him; it isn't; it's about Ingle. The nuances of Hamed's journey from his perspective are almost completely absent, and having met him and watched a lot of interviews with him over the years I feel there's another story to tell there, particularly what he really thought of boxing, the injuries and sheer physical and mental demand, and having to craft a persona that wasn't really who he was as he grew into maturity.That said, it's a heart warming film, a true story of success against impossible odds; the journey of a pair of totally out of the ordinary characters making it in a changing world, which first expected them to fail and then put an insatiable demand for entertainment on them.Some of the exposition scenes were a little too obvious and the same applies to the script: by the numbers life in the UK through the 80s and 90s; but the young Naseem was great, the rest of the cast did a terrific job.Worth watching, but again bear in mind it's one side of the story.
