It’s not as well known over here in the UK but having witnessed Canada Vs USA in the last Winter Olympics, it’s one hell of a passionate and committed sport, and now we get a little unique insight into the great game with the brutal-looking THE LAST GLADIATORS.
This trailer makes it look intensely revealing, following the life of the interestingly named Chris “Knuckles” Nilan, so I think you might see where this is going and especially if you know a little about Ice Hockey, or just Hockey as its called in North America. Anyway, this could be an insightful documentary, whether you know the sport or don’t. Take a look at the trailer and scroll down for the official synopsis:
Academy Award winning Director Alex Gibney takes an unprecedented look at the National Hockey League’s most feared enforcers and explores the career of Chris “Knuckles” Nilan. The role was simple: protect their teammates no matter the cost. For Chris this meant a shattered body, addiction to drugs, and harming the people closest to him. But in the process, he won the love of hockey’s holy city, Montreal, and helped the team win the Stanley Cup. He also played for the New York Rangers and Boston Bruins. Through interviews with hockey’s toughest guys, the film explores what it means to enforce the unspoken code of the NHL.
THE LAST GLADIATORS was released in the USA on February 1st and we’ll keep you up-to-date with future showings in the UK. You can take a look at their official site by clicking here.
