I'm not a big fan of prison movies but wanted to see this because Jack O'Connell was in it. There might be spoilers - not big ones. Jack O'Connell's performance was amazing. Even a friend of mine who hated him in "Tower Block" agreed. Aside from some normal prison behavior that's to be expected, Rupert Friend's character, Baumer, runs an anger management group. I really liked the way Baumer stood up for Eric (O'Connell) and gave him a chance to help himself. There's a lot of tension in the prison, considering Eric's father, Neville, had been there for years already and seems to be second in charge among the prisoners. Neville is jealous of how Eric was able to gets along with a few other inmates so fast without his help.
Only a few minutes into the movie and action starts. I don't know how anyone could have been bored. It has a really good storyline included in the prison theme. I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen. I've watched it almost 5 times already (and not because of the nudity).
One of the best parts is near the beginning, when the warden asks Eric if he would agree to going to the anger group and his response is the best! It shows how smart he is. One line is similar to, 'if everyone gets a chance to reform, you'll be out of a job'. I liked that because it's so true.
