Synopsis

Inspired by the real-life story of Prince Naseem "Naz" Hamed, a British-Yemeni boxer, and his journey from humble beginnings to becoming a world champion and his training under Brendan Ingle, who played a crucial role in his success.
Moviegoers are saying
Giant delivers a compelling boxing biopic that transcends typical sports movie tropes through its focus on the complex mentor-student relationship between Prince Naseem Hamed and trainer Brendan Ingle. While audiences praise the stellar performances from Amir El-Masry and Pierce Brosnan, many note the film's heavy-handed exposition and limited budget constraints that prevent it from reaching championship heights.

    “You fly close enough to the sun, you’ll cast the shadow of a giant.” I can remember myself and few friends went to the pub to watch a Prince Naseem fight. I was at the bar and the bell for the first round rang while I was being served. Before I even got to the table with…

    As a huge fan of boxing, and a fan of Prince Naseem, I really wanted to love this, but sadly, it’s just a very mediocre boxing biopic. At its best, this film is really good, with the occasional hard hitting dramatic moment and some fairly fun boxing scenes. However, for…

    Faites place au Prince Naseem Hamed. Friand de biopics en tous genres, j’ai pris un malin plaisir à suivre ce Giant, un film biographique retraçant le parcours fou de celui qui fut un « phénomène né » de la boxe mondiale dans la catégorie poids plume : Naseem…

    “Just like the Working Man’s Clubs. Nothing we haven’t heard before.” “We? They weren’t shouting at us, Brendan. They were shouting for me.” As a fellow Irishman who also can’t do an Irish accent, always appreciate the representation that Pierce Brosnan brings on…

    A surprisingly emotional movie about the rise of the greatest showboater in history and the slow disintegration of a beautiful relationship between trainer and fighter. A bittersweet ending that almost made me tear up. Pierce Brosnan was amazing in this movie.

    Actually a lot better and more sincere than I thought it’d be. I’m not usually a fan of when biopics cover such a large period of time, but it felt effective here. I’m glad the film opted to focus on Ingle and Hamed’s relationship over his career, making for a far more interesting and original…

    6/10 Intreating story, well performed and casted. The Prince may have been arrogant/cocky but what a boxer, well trained, it’s almost a shame his ego overtook this professional career. Recommend.

    The fact that we got to have a reconciliation between them speaks volumes on the real work put in the making of a true story and the tribute to The best boxing trainer that ever was!

Some interesting material here, but the punches don’t land.

It’s very much the point of Athale’s screenplay that life was too short for such a grudge after the epic association these men had. By saying so, Giant hoists itself out of sports-biopic ordinariness and becomes really quite moving.
