Salvable

Salvable offers striking visuals and well-choreographed boxing scenes - gritty, kinetic, and grounded - but the storytelling never quite packs a punch. The film centers on Sal, a washed-up boxer battling regret, family estrangement, and the lure of a dangerous comeback. While cinematography beautifully captures the blue-collar grit of Wales and the ring sequences feel authentic, the screenplay remains surface level. His relationships with his daughter and ex-wife feel underdeveloped, pacing suffers in the middle, and the emotional stakes don't fully land. Shia LaBeouf brings some energy as Vince, but mostly just steers Sal toward a predictable end. Salvable looks tough, but it never truly hits below the surface.

Just to be clear, this is not a boxing movie. It's very much deep in the drama category...and thats a good thing. I did not expect to be so emotionally broken after watching this. As a father myself, i couldn't help but think about my own children.

A stand out movie, one which will stay with me for a while think. The lead actor Sal played by Toby Kebell is outstanding, it almost feels like a real lived in documentary, you are with him every step of this film and you feel his woes even in the quietest moments of the film.

A must watch... but don't expect this to be an action flick, its a slow burn, beautifully crafted and emotionally driven drama. Just flawed me.

Really cool movie !

Dark ,gritty and amazing cinematography. This movie really pulled me in and I was gripped !

Great casting !

Each actor was completely believable The music was great too !

I hope I can buy the soundtrack somewhere as it had a real theme running through every song and totally complimented every scene .

Bjorn Franklins story and directing is top class !

The friendship between actors Toby and Shia character was very moving and made me want to root for both of them to win .

I tough the young 14 year old daughters acting was way beyond her years and deserves attention .

Over all I think this movie is great and will be up for some awards !

Caught this by accident as saw the trailer and figured it'd be the usual ex-boxer down on his luck story. But it surprised me. Some real moments in there that got under my skin, especially the stuff with his daughter. I've got two kids myself and one's a teenage girl, so yeah, that part hit home. Toby Kebbell plays it quiet but strong, nothing showy, just real. Reminded me that trying to fix things with your kids doesn't always come with big speeches, just showing up and being there when it counts. It's not perfect, but it's honest and hits you when you're not expecting it. Worth the watch for sure.

Classic story about people with no money, broken homes, broken families, broken psyche, low morality, low intelligence, crime etc.

There is the boxing element to it, but this isn't a boxing movie, it's a drama.

It's well acted, Shia Lebouf is a minor character nice to see him taking some interesting roles, hope he gets back to the mainstream soon.

The acting and cinematography and everything makes this very realistic feeling. Like it's a true story.

Life sometimes breaks a man, and his best just isn't good enough, and there are few helping hands. Is it possible to break away from the grips of fate?
