At first glance, Journeyman looks like another one of those appositely scrappy, noble British boxing films. Actor Paddy Considine’s second outing as a writer-director tells the story of middleweight boxing champion Matty Burton (Considine). I’ve seen people go into boxing gyms and develop character and discipline and all those things. He lost both parents relatively young: his Irish father died of cancer just before Considine went to New York to make 2002’s In America with Jim Sheridan. And I can’t remember the last big film I’ve seen that I thought was any good.”In 2011, following years of anxiety, Considine was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome.
