I just recently saw the trailer for this and so I am glad I got the chance to check it out. It looks to be a great move for Jack O'Connell in his first lead role. The acting is perfect. The scenes are powerful and intense. I enjoy a good prison movie and this one is definitely on the top for me.

I was wondering how Jack O'Connell managed to get his break in Hollywood but, after watching this movie, I understand why. ... read more
