The Slugger of Commerical Road (2026)
Mockumentary following a fake martial artist terrorising East London and the filmmaker insane enough to follow him
The Radar read
A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional, not yet released.
Synopsis
No-one knows his real name. No-one knows where he's from. He's an enigma. He's THE SLUGGER. A deranged, self-proclaimed, martial arts master, terrorising East London gyms. Along comes LE RUNT, an ambitious indie film-maker who would sacrifice a bus full of orphans if it meant he'd win an Oscar. What begins as a ridiculous mockumentary, spirals into a haunting character study about loneliness, masculinity and the masks we all wear to hide who we really are. Think People Just Do Nothing meets Bronson. Raw, absurd and close to home.

Open Double Feature RadarRadar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
