Jawbone is a powerful drama telling the story of former youth boxing champion Jimmy McCabe.
A man who after hitting rock bottom, returns to a familiar childhood boxing club, and its familiar faces, looking for one last attempt at pulling himself back together (played by the films screenwriter Johnny Harris).
Director Thomas Napper’s feature length debut, and actor Johnny Harris’ writing debut, Jawbone is a gritty British thriller, filmed partially in Birmingham, at Digbeth, where the fight scenes took place. The film gained wide critical success, with praise particularly focused on the debuting duo.
Fight scenes for this boxing film were filmed in buildings in the Jewellery Quarter and Digbeth in March 2016.
