Force, In Verne Faulkner’s line of work, is preferably avoided but hardly ever optional. It’s all part of the job as a New York City bouncer - and Faulkner is all smiles. This work depends on his capacity to take a hit. Yet, his sense of humor provides a force of its own. Switching constantly from being the muscle man to doling out jokes, Faulkner speaks to the daily contractions of living and working as a bouncer. Just the Muscle profiles Faulkner, a thoughtful and kind-hearted New York City bouncer, as he works late nights dodging punches and calming drunken bar-goers in order to make a living, raise is daughter, and understand his surroundings all while maintaining his optimistic view on life.
