The Calcium Kid

(2004)Directed by Alex De Rakoff89 minComedy
“It takes a lotta bottle to be the champ”

Nobody can quite explain how a milkman ends up as Britain's next title contender. Jimmy Connelly (Orlando Bloom) is an amateur boxer who, by accident, puts the country's real contender out of action, and the championship fight suddenly needs someone to take his place. Alex De Rakoff shoots it as a mockumentary, with talking heads and a camera crew following Jimmy into the ring.
