CGiii Comment
The inhumane treatment of the inhumane - interesting and disturbing.
Unfortunately, it's not half as good or as controversial as it undoubtedly thinks it is...but, a valiant effort nonetheless.
Nick Cave does have his faithful followers - this will do nothing to recruit fresh new ones.
Not the most intelligent film ever made...but, they sure as hell think it is...they tried.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
The inmates and guards of a modern, clean and efficient maximum security wing are slowly and increasingly brutalised until they erupt in violence. Dark and macabre, and based in truth, the story is told in a traditional dramatic style combined with telephone interviews and narration.
