Plots(1)
With his hulking physique and close-cropped cranium, retired pugilist Douglas "Arm" Armstrong (Cosmo Jarvis) is an intimidating figure. His boxing days behind him and with few prospects to be sought in his depressed Irish seaside community, Arm is happy to be recruited into the Devers family drug business. Working as the right-hand man to Dympna (Barry Keoghan), eldest of the Devers offspring, Arm makes a menacing — and thus highly valued — enforcer. Underneath Arm's thuggish exterior, however, lies a disarming tenderness, especially when he's allowed to visit his five-year-old son Jack, who is on the autism spectrum. As tensions between Arm and Jack's mother begin to thaw, Arm sees a chance to prove himself as a parent. When the Devers give him a task that will test the limits of his loyalty, Arm is forced to reckon with what kind of man he really wants to be. (Toronto International Film Festival)
