From acclaimed writer-director Gerard Johnson comes a psychological thriller that's dripping in sweat, tears and, well, testosterone. Shot in lustrous black and white in and around Newcastle, 'Muscle' is the story of Simon (Cavan Clerkin), an unhappy and unambitious office worker whose life becomes dominated by Terry, his new and very hands-on personal trainer (Craig Fairbrass). Initially inspired by Terry’s dedication, Simon soon realises that the line between healthy commitment and all-out obsession is dangerously thin. A study in toxic masculinity, but mining an area of black comedy that echoes the world of ‘Fight Club’, Johnson’s dark character study offers a compelling and frequently unsettling perspective on an everyday environment.
