CGiii Comment

It begins with Jude Law receiving a blowjob from a fellow inmate...as he soliloquises about his beautiful cock...that's it for the gay interest. It's rather painful to watch Jude Law plummet to such depths.

What follows is an over-acted diatribe of vulgarity - reminiscent of Bronson but nowhere near the same league...and, a shabby imitation of Guy Ritchie.

Shepard is an inconsistent director...here, he assumes that the use of expletives is comedic. He has never been so wrong.

Implausible, banal tripe.
