An incredibly intense film that shows what life can be like in UK prisons.


I’ve been meaning to watch this film since it came out earlier this year. Then when David Jonsson got cast as the new Black Panther recently, I just had to watch it.

Great thriller! The tension is so uncomfortable and builds constantly, real stomach knotting watch the whole way. Love DJ, his acting is always excellent. And TB is soooo good at playing unnerving characters. Excited to continue seeing more from these two!

I like alot 8/10

Not as violent as some prison dramas Ive seen but still extremely tense and gritty. Shows the flaws in the UK prison system.

i can’t believe people experience this in prison. i’m still recovering from watching this but it was a great movie. put a lot of shit into perspective

i was so invested in taylors journey the entire time it was truly rlly well made, i loved the format
a very raw depiction of the reality of inside the UK prison systems, def more violent then i expected😭

I enjoyed this but it wasn’t as good as I was expecting. It was a slow burn and didn’t have much of a climax

movie = great. i watched it during my flight and i can tell you firsthand it didn’t disappoint. acting was supreme, the ending was ELITE, and the way they portrayed prison life was perfect. camera positioning/handling was truly unique. so many dynamics to explore in this too..

Arguably one of my favourite films of the year. Gritty film about the UK prison system and is highly immersive.

Jonsson and Blyth did a fantastic job!

A must watch.

Had no knowledge of this movie before watching it on a 6AM flight. Can only say I was thinking about the rise and relief of tension the whole movie and the rest of the day. Very good movie with believable characters and plot lines inside a prison.

A nauseating small prison drama that takes place entirely inside the facility. David Jonson is proving his greatness once again, while Tom Blythe also puts on a great performance. Perfect exhilarating watch on a Sunday morning.

8.5

Didn’t need to see two penises but not going to complain. Fairs

Expert filmmaking top to bottom. Tense, brutal, survival by any means to get out. Incredible work behind the camera and in front of the camera. David Jonsson is a force.

wow this is magnificent. the cinematography is stellar throughout and the acting is much better than I could’ve expected. a perfect prison thriller that is short enough and doesn’t feel too crazy, but still very rewarding. another instant favorite of the year

The Acting in this is so good

Intense, gritty, real. Dark. Great acting and use of camera work. Claustrophobic💀What desperation can drive you to😔 The TENSION throughout and use of music ✨✨

hidden gem. david jonsson. tense
