When a man's world shatters after his wife's infidelity, raw masculine rage takes center stage in this gritty British drama. Ray Winstone stars as Colin Diamond, a devastated husband who, with the help of his volatile gangster friends, kidnaps his wife's young lover. Holed up in a decrepit safe house, Colin is pushed to the brink by his eccentric crew—the philosophical John Hurt, the suave and ruthless Ian McShane, the conflicted Tom Wilkinson, and the quietly menacing Stephen Dillane—as they pressure him to take ultimate revenge. The film becomes a claustrophobic and profane exploration of wounded pride, toxic masculinity, and the crumbling facade of tough-guy bravado. Directed by Malcolm Venville from a sharp script by Louis Mellis and David Scinto, this intense character study asks how far a broken man will go when his "44 Inch Chest" pride is all he has left.
