"a baseball bat swinging, throat throttling roller coaster of a heated battle. The fight choreographers made the most of the actors physical abilities to create gripping sequences that the actors appear to relish and offered the audience some well deserved “oo" inducing moments." - Paise for Russell Eccleston's fight choreography in Between The Armies (365 Bristol)
