Well acted, well made, shame about the plot holes
4 February 2013
Several other reviews have covered it well.

The acting is good. The camera-work is very good and takes you in to the prison and makes you feel that you are seeing things from a prisoner's eye view.

The actors are generally a little too nice and smooth to be mistaken for real hardened criminals, but that's forgivable for a modest movie that needs people who can act.

The real problem is the plot holes, Sometimes things happened that made me what to scream out "No it wouldn't be like that". The problem for me is that by halfway through I had lost connection with the movie and found myself watching it just out of general interest; I no longer believed in what was happening.

But I still give it high marks for general entertainment. Hopefully those involved will make something better next time.
