Raw, hard-hitting prison film from a British angle. A film about a derailed youngster who has absolutely no sense of social rules or how to behave during conversations, humor, comments or criticism. He always knows only one answer and that is his fist work. He doesn't make many friends with it and there is literally no country to sail with him. He is a ticking time bomb with no future prospects with such behavior.
A film that runs non-stop in prison is not easy. MacKenzie therefore did more than decent. The film is never boring and remains exciting. The film does feel repetitive at times. The contact with his father can be called strange, although this improves somewhat towards the end. Behind all that macho violence is also a frightened insecure youngster. Eric's character is therefore well developed, although the abuse that has been mentioned is only communicated for information purposes. After all, society doesn't care about it either...
Not a black-and-white film as it initially did, but also not with the endless clichés that you might expect as compensation. Strong spicy drama in which you also need friendship and trust within the survival of the fittest. After all, you can't make it alone...

Jack O'Connor makes an impressive debut in this prison drama that – although I haven't counted – scores very high on the F scale. O'Connor plays Eric Love who is serving a long prison term for a violent crime. At 19, he is transferred from juvenile detention to an adult facility where his father [Ben Mendelsohn] is also incarcerated and has considerable influence. Eric's distrust of his fellow inmates soon results in a massive explosion of violence, but Oliver Baumer [Rupert Friend], the leader of a prison support group, thinks he can help Eric with his rehabilitation. Very violent, but above all very well acted by the three protagonists and that makes this one of the best prison dramas in years.
