Muscle is a 2019 British thriller written and directed by Gerard Johnson. The film stars Pat Tate as Terry, a hands-on personal trainer that gradually takes over the life of Simon (Cavan Clerkin), a jaded office worker. The film was released in the United Kingdom on 4 December, 2020.
Simon (Clerkin) is an unhappy office worker who has relocated from London to Newcastle. His home life with his emotionally withdrawn wife, Sarah (Maberly) is crushingly monotonous. He becomes drawn into a gym that he passes on his work commute, and quickly comes under the influence of Terry (Fairbrass), a hands-on personal trainer with a military background who offers to mentor Simon, introducing him to bodybuilding and growing his self-esteem. Overbearing Terry uses his influence over Simon to emotionally manipulate him as Simon's life takes a dangerous turn.[1]
