The sports biopic of Prince Naseem “Naz” Hamed is coming to Cineworld in 2026, but Unlimited members got to watch an advanced screening last night.
Starring Amir El-Masry as the world champion British-Yemeni boxer and Pierce Brosnan as his trainer, Brendan Ingle, Giant charts the humble beginnings of Naz’s career and the intimate behind the scenes moments.
Arriving on the 9th January, get a sneak peak of what’s in store with our round-up of reviews from last nights Unlimited screening. And make sure you sign up ahead of 2026 so you can watch every single movie for the equivalent of two cinema tickets a month on average.
Naz has always been a character, described as being incredibly cocky, as well as showing great flare in his showmanship inside the boxing ring. And Amir El-Masry captures that persona perfectly.
As Peter pointed out, El-Masry really captured Naz’s swagger. And Brosnan wasn’t half bad either.
It got the swagger of Nas spot on. Great work from Brosnan too, a winning British sports biopic.

Marc agrees, giving another nod to the former 007 secret agent.
Good film with good performances from Amir El Masry and Piece Brosnan.

Steve, Samantha, and Sean also thoroughly enjoyed Giant. Honestly, what better way to spend your evening than a couple of hours, sat in the dark, being thoroughly entertained.
Really good enjoyable movie. Great performances all round. Really enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours…..

Whether you’re familiar with Prince Naseem Hamed’s story or not, Giant is a great gateway into this iconic British boxing star – no matter if you leave the cinema loving or hating him.
I only knew the boxer in the ring, I never knew anything about Prince Naseem Hamed outside the ring! An eye opener but an extraordinary story all the same!

Great film. Interesting story! Great acting. Though I didn’t much like Prince Naseem by the end.

Over on Letterboxd, Cineworld Unlimited members were equally as impressed with the strong performances in Giant. Rhys said:
Jamie compared Giant to the Rocky series. We can practically hear the theme in our heads. You know the one.
And we totally agree with Rey. Those leopard print shorts of Naz's were everything. And we always think there's room for more.
Giant is out on the 9th January with tickets set to go on sale soon. Keep an eye out using the link below.
