Salvable

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.

Great performances and great debut from the directing duo. LaBeouf is charismatic and compelling as an actor as always. I wish he was on screen more in the film. That would be the only complaint I would have for the film. Kebbel is great in the lead role too. However, it's LaBeouf who as usual, steals the show with his insanely, breathtaking performance as the best friend of Kebbel's protagonist. The directing duo who helmed the film definitely have a promising future as directors in the industry and I'm excited to see their future work. The film should've got a wider theatrical release to be honest.

Relatable film on the struggles that life throws as we agree. Or a view into what is coming for those not there yet.

Solid acting and good story line. Ex fighter with estranged daughter has traveled down a rabbit hole with no options apart from fighting. Things falling apart at work and his daughter getting into trouble at school, dad's left with no option to take the hard choices that are on offer.. Namely shia labeouf and his Irish roots. The dirty side of life and dodgy dealings can only lead to bad decisions.

A great watch when you have a couple of hours but needs your full attention....

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 !

Salvable knocks you out like a good boxer would. Obviously, this isn't a movie about boxing. Our main character does fight people in the ring, but more than that, he fights life and his circumstances. This film powerfully conveys a mood-one of sadness, of tough odds, of hopelessness. And you'll feel all of that: through the music, the gritty, rundown locations, the grimy, raw coastal weather-and most of all through the characters, especially in a layered lead performance by Toby Kebbell.

Sal is the underdog in the story-and this movie, too, started out as an underdog, but turned into a great watch.
