CGiii Comment

There are so many mistakes and implausibilities...it's difficult to know where to start...

For starters...A priest with a tattoo?!? It does get a flippant explanation and it's not good enough.

Two men sleep together in a prison cell for the entire night - one is a guard, the other is a prisoner - one with underwear the other not!?!? We don't think so...

And that's just the first 2 minutes - how much can plausibility be stretched...

The prison itself is a run-down hovel - obviously, the film-makers have never been in a British prison - recently...they really are rather comfortable.

Filmmakers...when in doubt, when the budget demands it...set your film in a fictional land, in a fictional time...keep it fictional especially when monetary and talent are major restraints.

The acting, by all, is akin to porn-star delivery - in their defence, the script is an uninsightful and naive piece of redundancy

Flaxstone and Martin may have struck a tuneful chord with Shank - but this is a driveling cacophony of self-indulgent shite.

Insultingly bad.
